Synopsis

Album Description
Kelly Willis returns after five years with the much-anticipated Translated From Love. Produced by long-time collaborator Chuck Prophet, Translated From Love is Willis' most sonically adventurous album to date. Prophet says of Willis, "She's one of those singers who can make a track come alive. She's got that kind of charisma." Translated From Love gives nods to five decades of rock, pop and country with `60s girl group drum sounds one minute and strings-drenched C&W angst the next. Its 12 tracks are comprised of originals, intriguing and unexpected covers (including a vintage Vox organ-fueled take on Iggy Pop's "Success" and Adam Green's retro-cool "Teddy Boys") plus collaborations with Prophet, acclaimed singer-songwriter Jules Shear and Kelly's husband, ace country songwriter Bruce Robison.

CD Reviews

Kelly Willis' New CD Sparkles
V. F. Golubic | Allen, TX United States | 07/22/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Had a chance to see Kelly and band play recently at a the Granada Theater in Dallas. It had been years since I last saw her in concert. Very memorable concert. Her voice really shines through on this new album and in a live concert it's a spectacularly refreshing alternative country sound, not something you'de expect from today's typical country bands that all start to sound the same after a while. Her husband Bruce Robison has written songs for George Strait.



If you get a chance to see her in a live concert, don't miss the opportunity to hear one of Texas' finest as she plays songs from this new album, which grow on you after just one playing. Go Kelly! Welcome back and keep up the song writing and singing:-)"
Great country album
Harold M. Babin | HOUSTON, TX USA | 07/16/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Kelly Willis is a great singer from the Austin area. This album is very good and easily expands her range into all aspects of the country genre."
Great stuff and Oh that Voice
N. C Kratzer | Bangor, PA United States | 07/11/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Once again Kelly draws you in with her stunning vocals. She has mastered the ability to surround herself with extreme talent as well in writers and musicians. This CD is better than Easy but not quite as good as What I Deserve. My personal favorite is Don't Know Why and there are several very good tunes her. Maybe one or two duds but her duds are still better than the garbage Nashville puts out. She is a class act."
