Album DescriptionAvailable in:
"Faded Gloryville" is the sixth full length studio album from Canadian singer-songwriter Lindi Ortega the album was released August 7, 2015 on the Last Gang Records label.
In the sleevenotes Lindi Ortega quotes her fellow Canadian, Leonard Cohen: “Success is survival.”
Ortega recorded Faded Gloryville in spurts, splitting the workload between three different producers. Dave Cobb, who'd sat behind the boards for Tin Star, recorded three songs at the Sound Emporium in Nashville, while Colin Linden, the producer of Ortega's 2012 release, Cigarettes & Truckstops, recorded four. Rounding out the sessions were three songs tracked in Muscle Shoals, including a Nina Simone-inspired update of the Bee Gees classic "To Love Somebody."
Hard luck tales abound, of abandoned lovers and lovers doing the abandoning, of down-and-outs and has-beens, all given unbowed strength by Ortega’s powerful, expressive voice.
