The new recording entitled Křižovatka by Lucie Redlová is the second author album of this singer, artist, guitarist and mandolin player from Valašské Meziříčí. The CD documents the music shift of Lucie Redlová as an author and performer from folk singing towards rock roots. The album Křižovatka Redlová recorded, unlike the first completely solo album, together with her mates from the band Garde, which has accompanied Lucie for two years now. Eleven songs have a relaxed, yet rock-like atmosphere given by a great American singer, musician and composer Tim Eriksen. He took care of the music production of the album which was recorded in the Jámor studio of Ondřej Ježek.
Already on the first solo album, Lucie Redlová bet on a foreign producer. In 2009 she recorded the album “První, poslední“ which was produced by the Irish rocker Steve Wall. This time, the collaboration took place over the ocean, given the fact that Tim Eriksen lives in Massachussets. Preparation work for the album started about six months before recording. He even composed music for one of the songs. Lucie Redlová explains what was the cooperation all about: “The song Nalívej beautifully demonstrates the international cooperation and the use of modern communication technologies while creating this record (because since autumn we were sending Tim some band recordings and worked on them). My songwriter Radka wrote these lyrics in Constance, Germany where she currently lives, I translated and narrated it in Valašské Meziříčí in order for Tim to know how to pronounce each word (and I have to say that since he speaks Serbian, Czech wasn’t such a big problem for him), Tim set it to music in Massachusetts, recorded the vocals and sent it back. We rehearsed the song later together in the studio, he accompanied me playing the Mexican twelve-string guitar called bajo sexto and African kalimba and we made it sound like kind of ethno-folk. But this is just one of the quieter ....... więcej
