Synopsis

Product Description

Somewhere Gone, Exene's first solo album since 1991, is a sometimes dreamy but always intimate, circuitous passage through folk and country; subdued, but no less edgy. Invoking other artists who travel easily between the worlds of words and music like Leonard Cohen and Patti Smith, Exene's lyrics and immediately recognizable, simultaneously fragile and totemic vocals carry all the passion of X without all the loud.Sonically, Somewhere Gone is a sometimes sparse, sometimes exuberant blend of folk, deep country and wide-open spaces.Exene is a genuine icon and inspiration to a generation.

CD Reviews

Long time fan still blown away

Derek M. Koch | KS United States | 10/18/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a wonderful, understated record. I keep thinking Exene has found her most beautiful voice on this recording. And I've loved her voice since the first X album. Lou Whitney [Missouri roots rock legend] has done a deft job of production here. 5 stars indeed all the way!!!"

Three "E's" Exene, Emmylou, and Ella

"What a great, great, CD! I should live with it for awhile before commenting, but anything from Exene is greatly appreciated. I always welcome any new music from the three "E's" Exene, Ella Fitzgerald, and Emmylou Harris...my 3 all-time favorite vocalists.

That's how "Somewhere Gone" succeeds for me. Seems to me that Exene has always had a loose, free-spirited, "jazz" vibe, when it comes to music...like Ella. And then too, Exene has the integrity, songwriting ability, and spirit of an Emmylou Harris. Of course, Exene Cervenka is unique, and her music isn't much like Ella's or Emmy's at all.

Exene Cervenka just operates at that high a level.
