About Sailor's Daughter
This stunning debut from peripatetic singer/songwriter Celia Chavez brings to mind Duke Ellington's famous dictum, "There are only two kinds of music: good and bad." "Sailor's Daughter" is not just good; it is superbly and triumphantly unclassifiable.Drawing from a wide range of influences, Chavez's compositions set flavorful melodies to accessible, sophisticated harmonies and varied rhythms and timbres. Her lyrics are intelligent, thoughtful, and free of cliche or pretension. Chavez also has a knack for production and pacing, coaxing superb, concise performances out of her band and adding sounds and effects to the mix with a sure hand. But her voice alone (a sultry, textured instrument) would command attention: her reworking of "Moon River" spotlights her mastery of phrasing and mood as well as her imagination and taste.
There is not a glib or shallow moment anywhere on "Sailor's Daughter," which sounds nothing like a first album. It is the work of an artist who knows exactly what she wants to say and how to say it, and could have been made by no one else. Any fan of intelligent, female-fronted popular music will find the "Sailor's Daughter" an enchanting companion.

“A gem. Lazy Latin beats and solos, Celia's sultry vocals - we could be back in early 60s.”

“A smouldering, electric soul workout, Santana-style, with sensual vocals and a lovely restrained guitar solo. Perfect listening for a romantic summer night.”

“You could imagine Van Morrison singing this one. Slow, soulful ballad with liquid piano and jazz bass makes a great showcase for Celia's flexible voice.”
