Synopsis

Album Description
FLY ME BACK is the new album from folk-rock-singer-songwriter Brenda Weiler. Musically, FLY ME BACK represents a departure from the mostly stripped-down acoustic ambiance of her previous two CDS, CRAZY HAPPY and TRICKLE DOWN. Songs like "Noella Rae" and "Breathe" feature drum loops, strings, electric piano and electric guitar while still allowing Brenda's intimate and personal vocals and acoustic guitar to shine through. Other songs, like the achingly direct "Better" and the traditional spiritual "Motherless Chile", were recorded live in the studio. Most importantly, FLY ME BACK shows the power of an artist whose autobiographical yet univeral lyrics touch the listener, and whose voice can change in a heartbeat from a powerful alto to a naked whisper. Critical acclaim for Brenda has included numerous articles, the theme of which can be summed up in this recent quote from the Minneapolis StarTribune: "Weiler's songs work because they're painstakingly real and honest." To that honesty, Brenda now adds a musical conviction that makes FLY ME BACK sure to affect each listener.

You have to catch her LIVE :)

"This cd is really amazing. What's even more amazing is seeing Brenda's live performances. I've seen her play a number of times all across Wisconsin and it's always a fun time driving out to see her with friends. What you realize at her live shows is how truly powerful her voice is. She puts lots of emotion into every song and every show is unique. Every show I've seen is just Brenda and her guitar it's even better than the cds. Anyways, about the cd. It's a great one. You won't be disappointed. Happy, unplifting songs... songs you won't ever get tired of lisening to. Get this cd or Crazy Happy. If you get a chance to see her you won't be able to resist buying all of her cds. Enjoy!"

"Brenda's voice and writing, + John's production and playing are inspired on every one of these songs. Brenda's singing goes from pretty & quiet - to bare & emotional - and is purposely presented in an unadorned & close-up manner. Every arrangement uses different colors & tools - is clean & transparent - & has new "voices" adding in - always at the right time - to keep things moving & interesting. Taken to task in an earlier review here - Brenda's voice is sensitive, pretty, passionate, strong - all of these things - & always the perfect vehicle for her lyrics & melodies. When she chooses to use it that way, Brenda's pretty, lyrical voice is no less convincing, or soulful - for those still willing to accept those values. Mostly, this is a (most likely) small budget recording that has the professionalism & discipline of a big studio effort - without losing any of the inspiration & freshness in the process. The songs here have all the honesty that is present when it's just Brenda & her guitar. This is some of the best music that I've ever heard."

"It is a shame that Brenda Weiler is a midwest secret. Her voice is compelling and addictive. "Fly Me Back" sends chills down my spine. I have been lathargic about listening to contemporary music for 5-10 years. Brenda gave me a reason to listen again. She brings forth a forceful message about many relationship and emotional dilemas. You have to have this album as part of a collection. I am a high school teacher. I played this cd one afternoon when kids were working on art projects. All my students were asking, "who is this". She captures your heart as soon as you play her music once. Daisy and Breathe are both stirring songs on the cd. You will want to sing along and relate your life to all her lyrics. I wish I could give her 6 stars for this one. AWESOME!"
