Inara George, daughter of
the late Little Feat guitarist and songwriter Lowell George,
released her debut album 'All Rise' on July 24th on Loose
Music.
Produced and largely co-written by Michael Andrews (most
famous for composing the 'Donnie Darko' score), 'All
Rise' is a collection of lush, intimately crafted songs.
The lilting opener 'Mistress' and the stomping 'Genius'
are amongst the many highlights of an album that demonstrates
Inara George's subtly seductive vocals and natural flair
for memorable songwriting. Many listeners have already
drawn favourable comparisons to the likes of Emiliana
Torrini, Beth Orton, Bjork or Aimee Mann.
'All Rise' also features a remarkable interpretation of
'Fools in Love', the original version of which appears
of Joe Jackson's accomplished 1979 debut 'Look Sharp!'.
Inara George is backed on 'All Rise' by a band led by
Andrews (guitars) and completed by Chris Stillwell (bass),
Pete McNeal (drums) and Greg Kurstin (keyboards). Jackson
Browne, her godfather, makes a guest appearance on standout
track 'A Day'.
Inara George previously released the summer-pop album
'Legs & Arms' with Lode before releasing the self-titled
album and 'Hard and Fast Driving Club' as part of Merrick.
Recently, she has toured the States alongside Idlewild
and Nada Surf and has also collaborated on new material
with Idlewild guitarist Rod Jones.

the jazz-tinged, sophisto-folk settings creating an air

beguiling singer-songwriter albums of recent months" - The Independent

Power" - The Daily Telegraph
