“Risk” seems to possess a vague notion of being an Alt-Country crossover hit.

Portal

Risk

"Nice spoken word interludes and edgy lyrics decrying the destruction of innocence in particular and religulousness in general.  Lots of nice musical detours in the arrangment." - Dale Nickey,The Muse Patrol

Naked

First single from the upcoming album "Geeology".

Geeology

Sensual Angel

Treasure

Just A Kiss Away

A bouncy prog-pop quickie that lyrically slaps upside the head the pathetic fool in all men.  You know what I’m talking about; the man child who constantly devalues who they’re with in favor of the idealized Perfect Girl who exists only in the imagination and ego.

Perfect Girl

The bridge section [of Pearl] where Gee scats against the mournful cello phrases shows the depth, power and fragility of a master vocalist and chanteuse.

Pearl

“Say What You Mean” is the smart and obvious choice as the gateway tune to the album.  Arguably the the most fully realized piece of music on Portal, I’d venture this selection received a lot of TLC in the tracking and mixing phase of the production. Co-produced by C.J. DeVillar; It has a graceful and elegant mid-tempo groove laced with spacey (yet restrained) sitar and tremolo guitar effects.  A good stoner tune that’s tight in the pocket and frosted with a memorable hook line.

Say What You Mean

Raised in Mineral Wells, Texas, Deborah Gee moved to Los Angeles and began performing in the mid1990s at local music spots including The Troubadour, Molly Malone’s and Genghis Cohen.  She was spotted by Alan Myers (Devo) at her second L.A. gig and Myers signed on as drummer.  Gee signed a demo deal with A&M Records and released her album PORTAL in 2000.  Gee wrote or co-wrote all of the songs.  The roster of producers on the album is a music industry Who’s Who including Mike Clink, Tal Herzberg, Michael Woodrum, Chris Lord-Alge, CJ De Villar and Jon Ingoldsby.  Songs from PORTAL were placed in films and television shows*, notably “Pearl”, which was placed in the films “Between the Sheets” and “The Smokers”.   
In 2001, Gee met ex-Dickies guitarist/producer Glen Laughlin at a coffeehouse.  She was looking for a new guitarist for her band, and the two began performing together and working on what was initially intended to be her second solo album.  After meeting drummer Ryan Brown at a party, the three formed The Pawn Hearts, later re-named The Cherry Bluestorms.  The trio was spotted by a promoter at their first performance in Los Angeles, and as a result their second performance was at a festival in New Hampshire.   
The Cherry Bluestorms’ debut album, TRANSIT OF VENUS, was released on June 1, 2007.  The band’s sophomore record BAD PENNY OPERA was a concept album released in March 2013.  BAD PENNY OPERA is set in 1960s Britain, and tells the story of a young woman embarking on a journey to find herself.  The band has performed widely in U.S. as well as Toronto, Ontario, London, UK and the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool, birthplace of The Beatles.  “Violent Heart” from TOV and “A True Heart Wears a Thorny Crown” from BPO were placed in television shows*.  In late 2017/early 2018, “Risk” from Gee’s album PORTAL saw a resurgence in overseas airplay, being heard across Japan and England. Gee and Laughlin are currently in the studio completing work on their third album, WHIRLIGIG, and Gee is working on her second solo release, GEEOLOGY, with Laughlin co-producing.
