Rock cellist Kristen Miller is covering Eurythmics Sweet Dreams on her new album
Rock cellist Kristen Miller is releasing her third CD “Walk” today, June 12, 2010, including rocking acoustic songs alongside captivating instrumentals as well as a compelling cover version of Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams”. Kristen Miller about the album:
“The record is infused with a folk-rock feel and African/Middle Eastern elements. Although I play an antique instrument, I am actually trying to push the boundaries when I compose and when I play. I plug the cello into a looping pedal to create complex cello arrangements in real time on stage. I try to use the cello in many ways: percussively, as a bass, and to create harmony and melody, I top it off with vocals in the form of spoken word and singing.”
The record, which was recorded and produced by Tom Eaton (Vance Gilbert, Ellis Paul, Melissa Ferrick). Miller was named 2004 Female Artist of the Year by Jam Magazine. Her first two solo CDs charted on college and community radio across North America, with “Later That Day” (2003) spending a year at No. 2 on AOL/Netscape Radio’s New Acoustic Top 25.
