Ripley Caine
>>Who
she is. Completely left of center, comically
sarcastic, and a little fiery, Ripley Caine breaks the mold
of the stereotypical "woman with guitar". Ripley
and her band (Tony Stompanto - bass, Chuck Harling - drums,
and other guest artists) combine the rawness of alternative
with the softness of folk and the edginess of rock and roll.
>>What
she's recorded. Ripley's
new CD, "Lover," to
be released on Sweet Pickle Music in October 2002, is her
third recording project. Earlier recordings include "Thrift
Store Sweater" and the highly acclaimed EP "Corvair".
>>What
the critics say. Here's a smattering of their
take on Ripley Caine:
"There
is a thoughtful but dark shadow over Caine's music.
It, like Caine, is natural and genuine and a welcome addition
to the scene.
- Chicago Arts & Entertainment
"Caine
has a startlingly rich and clear voice, as cutting as diamonds
slicing glass.
This trio evokes a mesmerizing hushed stillness."
- Windy City Times
"Front
woman Caine's full husky voice blasts the band many leagues
from
that timid self-consciousness that often curses the woman-with-acoustic-guitar
genre."
- Chicago Reader
