Puss N Boots (from the album Sister available on Blue Note Records)
Gathering recently for a Dolly Parton tribute in NYC, Puss N Boot include the Dolly-penned cut, “The Grass is Blue”, on their second album outing. Sister is the release from Puss N Boots, the album opening on the percussive rumble of “Jamola”, the track a wondrous mix of rhythms, atmospheric guitar lines, and sultry harmony. The three voices meet on the gentle sway of “It’s Not Easy” while Sister trots out “The Razor Song” on a Country and Western saunter, strides slowly over the requests of “The Great Romancer”, and snaps electric guitar chords to vow “Nothing You Can Do”.
Side projects are excellent escapes for the creative community though for the three women of Puss N Boots (Norah Jones, Sasha Dobson, and Catherine Popper), the trio is a safe haven for their art. Norah Jones feeling that ‘we feed off of each other’s eagerness to jump in, sink or swim’ with Sasha Dobson weighing in that ‘for me this band has always been an incredible and uniquely safe outlet for trying new things’ and Catherine Popper able to breath knowing that ‘it’s been a great learning experience for me about setting my ego aside and taking a chance’. In addition to the Dolly tribute, Puss N Boots give a nod to other artists favorites with covers of Tom Petty in “Angel Dream”, Paul Westerberg on “It’s a Wonderful Lie”, and Johnette Napolitano (Concrete Blonde) with “Joey”. Sister has the feel of friends solving world problems over a cup of coffee as Puss N Boots advise on the days rushing by with “Lucky” and commiserate on problems as they join in the harmony of hope to ward the “Same Old Bullshit”.
