Hello from Belle Plaine
BELLE PLAINE
2011
“Her voice is a dark smoking beauty in an oil painting from an older era. She imparts it nakedly, dresses it with complex chords on an uncomplicated acoustic guitar. Her original lyrics conjure burning prairie, misty swamps and love betrayed.It’s the debut album from Regina-based singer/songwriter Melanie Hankewich, aka Belle Plaine. Complemented by upright bass player Elizabeth Curry, Miss Anna Rose’s on occasional background vocals, organ by Jeremy Sauer and Nigel Taylor’ on trumpet. A remarkable, sincere debut album from a rising Saskatchewan based artist.”Produced by: Orion Paradis. Recorded at: SoulSound Recording Studio, Regina. More info: www.belleplainemusic.com
