​Mandy Barnett (from the album Strange Conversation on Dame Productions)
A torch singer is the checkmark that Mandy Barnett makes for her vocal style. Her voice has taken paths of Pop, Country, Blues, Gospel, and Soul. On Strange Conversation, the latest release from Mandy Barnett, she channels tones and textures from past recordings in an Americana melting pot of sound. Borrowing from other songwriters, Mandy Barnett shows the wide range between borders on Strange Conversation. Snaking guitar lines lead into Tom Waits’ “Puttin’ on the Dog”, Blue Country shimmers in Greg Garing’s “Dream to Real to Hold”, classic honky tonk rails and rattles in Lee Hazelwood’s “The Fool”, and girl group rock’n’soul becomes the beat for The Tams “It’s All Right (You’re Just in Love)”.
 
 
A soulful shuffle cruises into Strange Conversation with opening track “More Lovin’” while Mandy Barnett guides fractured rhythms and a demon band on the up/down beats of “A Cowboy’s Work is Never Done” and wrangles a sharp-angled groove for “Put a Chain on It” as Strange Conversation sinks deep into the groove as it dances with the Blues in the title track.
