"Song of the Smoke" is the second album by Anne Watts.It follows up "Boister", released last year, which received enthusiastic reactions.
Jim Dickinson, the ledgendary producer and keyboard player accurately said about her : "The Bauhaus meets the Whorehouse. Any artist that can reference Lotte Lenya,Edith Piaf, Captain Beefheart and Thelonious Monk at the same time is okay with me.Dark, earthphone vocals ; faded,sepia band tracks;with a splash of day-glo. It makes Tom Waits sound like a sissy ".
Son of smoke will take you to Anne's unique world , a place where Satie, Brecht , Coltrane are permanent guests.
