Maria McKee, on the release of her new album Peddlin’ Dreams (which is lovely, by the way):
“In the past I haven’t been the most prolific artist,” she admits. “It’s taken me as much as six years to go from one album to the next. I’ve had to sit with songs and ideas a long time until I’ve felt satisfied with them. I want to make better use of my talent now. If I’m honest with my songs, I can put albums out more frequently; that’s become important to me because of how incredible my fans have been and how important it is for me to connect with them as often as I can.”
Oh Maria, if you can imprint some of this on your good friend…
Husband Jim on his role as producer:
“With this album, I wanted a more open, almost stark recording. It’s all about emotion in the vocal. Where the voice cracks and reveals something that’s almost beyond what the artist intends.”
