Melissa Ferrick February 27, 2012

Melissa Ferrick has a great deal to show for two decades in the music industry. There is the expansive body of work, mapped out over the sixteen albums that comprise her career to date, nearly all of which she distributed herself. There is the fervent fan-base that has grown with Ferrick, which has waited patiently for her latest opus for the preceding three years.

Still Right Here is folk-rock powerhouse Melissa Ferrick's first studio album in five years, combining the lyrical sophistication of Aimee Mann with the driving acoustic guitar of Dave Matthews. Featuring performances by Ani DiFranco and Kaki King, the album perfectly showcases Ferrick's finely-honed chops as a singer and guitarist, while highlighting her prowess on several other instruments including piano and drums. Co-produced by Ferrick with Brooklyn indie darling Alex Wong (The Paper Raincoat, Vienna Teng) and Thomas Eaton (Ellis Paul, Vance Gilbert), this is a sonically rich, emotionally intense album that will appeal to fans of Tegan & Sara, Ben Harper, She & Him, Jakob Dylan, Tristan Prettyman and David Gray. Ferrick decided to sign to MPress Records after years of self-distributing her albums, which at first proved a difficult to decision to make. Above all there is the sound, a voice burnished by breakdowns and breakthroughs, refined over the twenty years she has been doing this.
