Lizanne Knott - Bones and Gravity (2019)

If living through hard times has any merit in creating authenticity in art and writing, then Lizanne Knott has a mother load. Coming out of a troubled childhood, she found herself living alone by the age of fifteen. Working mostly on farms and ranches to make ends meet, she also developed an affinity for playing the guitar and writing. That got her through those early years, including two failed marriages, single motherhood and a pretty constant struggle to just get by. It wasn't until years later, when Grammy Award winning producer and engineer, Glenn Barratt, walked into a folk club where she was playing, that her life took a drastic change. Five critically acclaimed records later, she is releasing her best work yet, one that delves into the conflict and sometimes painful fires that burn inside our very souls. Together, along with a host of friends (who happen to be some of the best session players on the east coast), she revisits her roots and delivers a healing dose of love and redemption amidst heartbreak and the human condition. From the stark beauty of the title track, "Bones and Gravity", to the rootsy stomp of "Lay Him Down" and the raw emotion of "Keep Me Alive", this record will keep you listening over and over again. Masterfully recorded and produced by Glenn Barratt, it is sure to be a favorite among fans of Americana and Folk Rock.
