Steve Earle To Produce Ana Egge's New Album
. Ana has realized a dream securing luminary Steve Earle to produce her newest effort. Earle has long been regarded as one of the finest songwriters and musicians of our time. Ana explains "I thought of asking Steve based on the songs that I've been writing for this new album. They are mostly pretty stripped down and I've been imagining them still being edgy in their feel or attack on the instruments. He produced my favorite records by my friends Ron Sexsmith and Lucinda Williams, so it just seemed right." A few days after speaking with Earle, Ana actually dreamt that they were recording at Levon Helm's studio in Woodstock. It was kismet, Steve agreed. "When a folk musician who writes great songs can deliver them with a voice that is as bluesy as it is beautiful, heads will turn," notes Metro Santa Cruz. Ana is a triple threat. With the creative soul of a poet, Egge's songwriting prowess has been hailed by many with Rolling Stone noting "her sharply observed tales of the overlooked and underpaid feel utterly of the moment." Her powerfully soft and soulful voice has been described by American Songwriter magazine as "Honeysuckle" with NPR calling it "Gorgeous." Add to that some serious guitar playing chops worthy of Norah Jones' guitarist Adam Levy naming Ana one of his top ten favorite guitar players of all time, in the company of Ry Cooder and Daniel Lanois.
