With smoky vocals reminiscent of Tracy Chapman and Everything But the Girl's Tracy Thorn, Courtney holds court on stage with a presence far beyond her 20 years. Hailing from Dallas, the singer-songwriters latest album, 'Long Way' captures the bittersweet ache of a lover's loss, the beauty of nature and the confusion of a young woman standing at the crossroads of life. 'Rain on the asphalt, streets flooding with the essence of heaven, streetlights reflect off the water. Weaving red and green like a painting, like our lives -- blended together with such chaos... Hundreds of ways to say I'm gone...' In an incredibly short time, the prolific Miss Fairchild has already recorded two full-length albums, as well as enjoyed the honor of opening for singer-songwriter veterans such as Patty Larkin and Karla Bonoff. 'Long Way' was produced by John Would and fellow Texas singer-songwriter Sally Semrad. -- Heather McCullough Music: Alternative, Folk, Roots Rock, Country ****COURTNEY'S FIRST ALBUM "SIMPLE AND DISTORTED" IS LINKED UNDER THE "TRY THIS" SECTION BELOW**** Find out more about Courtney by visiting http://www.stanleyrecordings.com and check out other Stanley Recordings artists such as YORTOISE, SALLY SEMRAD, IRA and our latest release, A FAIR FORGERY OF PINK FLOYD, a 2 CD compilation featuring 29 artists performing interesting and unique covers of Pink Floyd's classics and obscurities including Courtney's wonderful version of "Nobody Home" Search CD Baby for "Fair Forgery" or paste this URL in your browser -- http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/afairforgery
