Lili Haydn

Place Between Places

(Nettwerk Records; US: 8 Apr 2008; UK: 1 Apr 2008)

Lili Haydn is somebody you’ve certainly heard play violin, whether you realize it or not. She started with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, but then also performed with rock acts ranging from Porno for Pyros to Tom Petty. This solo disc features her violin work, of course. But it also showcases a fine, emotive singer too. In some cases, she comes off psychedelic, as with “Strawberry Street”. But on “Can’t Give Everything”, which features help from the great mandolin man, Marvin Etzioni, she sounds a little new age. “Can’t Give Everything” also sports really cool distorted cello. Who knew the cello could rock like that? Haydn will likely always be in demand as a musician. But Place Between Places also proves she’s an excellent singer/songwriter – albeit, one with a bow.

Rating:

Dan MacIntosh is a freelance writer from Bellflower, California, “The friendly city”. He’s married with two children, two cats, one dog, one bunny, and one bird. He earned his B.A. degree in Communications (emphasis Public Relations) from California State University, Fullerton in 1986. By day, he works for a software company (Ah, but doesn’t everybody these days?), and in the evenings he works at Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts where he is hardly recognizable in a suit and tie. He also dearly loves his church, Calvary Baptist Church, Bellflower, where he is a deacon, a praise choir member, and a small group leader. He also plays guitar, but mainly in the privacy of his home.
