Rachael Warwick - Anglo Americana (2005)

Rachael Warwick's sound walks the line between nu and alternative Country/Americana with a tinge of pop thrown in for good measure. She has a style that has been described as "one of a kind" in fact Mark Moffatt, her producer and Rachael originated the name "Anglo- Americana".

The Brit chick was born and grew up in England and listened to a wide variety of music from around the world, but Country music was embedded in her heart from a very early age, which arose from a trip to Nashville when she was 13 years old.

What makes Rachael's current success quite remarkable is that in the late 1990' she was fronting punk/pop band "Hype". A tour of the UK, a few music festivals, a single "Alian" and one of Rachael' songs being used for a TV commercial for music industry board game "Chart Moves" were the sum of the bands career. The turn of the century would see Rachael evolving the sound for which she is now known. Misfortune and fortune alike played a part in the evolution, which would change her career for the better. Her new sound was one that she felt best represented her personality. It retains the cynical edge that she brought with her from the late 90's punk/pop band yet expertly harnesses the friction caused by the clash between the quirky eccentricities of the UK and the more uniform US style of Alt-country/ Americana.

Rachael's, "Anglo Americana" was recorded at Nashville's Masterfonics using Reba McIntyre's band on both occasions.
