Purple Room
Tricia Mitchell
Smart, catchy songwriting that blends youthfulness and play with hard-won maturity-- sort of like what you get if you mix up the earnest aching of Iris Dement, the softness of Alison Krauss, and the take-no-crapola sass of Sheryl Crow.

Description
Texas singer/songwriter Tricia Mitchell's first solo album is called "Purple Room," and it was produced and engineered by Dallas-based singer/songwriter Colin Boyd. The project began with some recording equipment in the extra bedroom in Mitchell's Houston house, which was painted purple.
Mitchell's music is a fusion of pop, folk, and country. Naming influences such as Elvis Costello, Ron Sexsmith, Bruce Springsteen, and Lucinda Williams, she describes her songs, "I strive for catchy melodies, and lyrics that depict the strength in being and remaining emotionally vulnerable. I enjoy writing very simply-structured songs that draw an audience into a complex moment."
******************************************
Here's what fellow musicians had to say about Purple Room:
"I have played Purple Room over and over...on my stereo, and in my mind. Her voice is buoyant with a slight edge, intimate and present. The songs are pure folk/rock, yet they don't burden one in storytelling nor are they clingy love songs.
Tricia has captured herself on CD the way seasoned veterans wish they could: with eyes and heart wide open, first take."
-Sara Hickman, Austin TX
"I LOVE everything on this CD, the songs, their melodies and lyrics, the vocals, the quirky and endearing harmonies, the rhythms, the Debbie Harry thing, the youthfulness interwoven with the maturity, the fun and the sadness, the variation across songs, the production, the mix, the instrumentation choices (was that an electric jaw (Jews) harp?). I listened to it twice today while driving and will do the same tomorrow."
-David Fishken, Fishken & Groves, Westford, MA
