Katie Noonan - BlackbirdOUT soon. Multi award winning and four
times platinum selling Australian songstress Katie Noonan will release
her brand new album on November 1st. 'Blackbird' - The Music Of Lennon
And McCartney', was recorded in New York earlier this year with the
cream of veteran jazz players Ron Carter, Lewis Nash, Joe
Lovano, John Scofield and Melbourne-based keyboard player Sam
Keevers.
Recorded in only 2 days, the Blackbird album couldn't help but be
inspired by the incredible live music on offer in the Big Apple.
A long-time fan of the Beatles' work, Katie decided early on to
restrict her album to John Lennon and Paul McCartney compositions. "I
am a great fan of George Harrison's songs, but I felt that his body of
work would be more effectively represented in a separate project which
I hope to record someday," revealed Katie. "For now, I thought we would
be better served by sticking with the incredible Lennon-McCartney
songbook."
Her 'Blackbird' album comprises 15 songs closely associated with
The Beatles. "I don't think there's a single musician on the planet who
hasn't been influenced by the Beatles in some way," Katie declares with
obvious sincerity. "Their songs are just perfectly formed little
stories. They have the universal themes of love and friendship and
communication and loneliness and passion. They contain all the themes
that are still so relevant. It's hard to describe but these really are
the perfect pop songs."
