The first track from from "Woman to Woman" is a response song to Townes Van Zandt 'Loretta', the song that was the inspiration for this new record. "Woman to Woman" will be released worldwide on April 15th, 2014. 

"I was sitting in a hotel room in Spearfish, SD learning to play a Townes Van Zandt tune called "Loretta," and as I was singing the words, I started to get angry," says Esme Patterson on the inspiration behind her new album 'Woman to Woman.' "I started thinking about how one-sided and subjective a lot of 'love songs' are, and how a lot of women immortalized in songs might tell a different side of the story if anyone ever asked."

That realization inspired Patterson to write an album of response songs that aims to give voice to seven women from popular music: Jolene (Dolly Parton), Alison (Elvis Costello), Loretta (Townes Van Zandt), Caroline (The Beach Boys), Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles), Evangeline (The Band), and Irene (Leadbelly).

"They are archetypes from famous songs, frozen forever in black and white," she says. "I did my best to add some color and give them some humanity."

Well-known for her work as a vocalist for Denver, CO's Paper Bird, Patterson also appeared on Anais Mitchell's 'Hadestown,' has performed on both Letterman and Leno as a backup singer for Tennis, and has collaborated with artists like Shakey Graves, Nathaniel Rateliff, Nick Jaina and Reed Foehl. 'Woman to Woman' is her second solo release.

"I am constantly aware of being in a very male-dominated industry. You'd be surprised how often people ask, 'so who writes your songs for you?'," Patterson says. "I don't necessarily have a soap box that I'm standing on with this album. The idea is more to start a conversation and to open up a dialogue on how we view and express female archetypes in popular music."

"I believe that strong women's voices in the music industry are rare. One goal of this work is to be a voice for women, and to expand the perspective of the listeners to see these objects of desire, resentment and pity as women, and humans, with their own side of the story to tell."

We Will Live For Ages

by the water

A Corner Store Espionage song, from the "Napalm Cereal" recording sessions in 2009-2010. The album never saw the light of day, but it was full of awesome stuff like this song. 

I came up with the basis of this song from noodling around with most of my metal riffs that I used to do in my personal rehearsal time. I brought it to the band I was in at the time (Corner Store Espionage), who helped write lyrics, flush out some of the guitars, sequence some parts, and to help record. 

On the recording:
* Jaclyn Stewart - Vocals
* Dave Freeman - Drums
* John Norwood - Bass
* Milton Georges - Guitars

Writing Credits also include:
* Joe Charles

Unfortunately we never got to records parts of this album with Joe, which is part of the reason why it never was released, as he was an integral member of the band who wrote or helped write many of the songs. 

Shout outs to Justin Piatt, Antonella Bilello, Paul Smikovecus, and anyone else involved with CSE, past or present :) 

Lyrics: 
You did this all by yourself
When you put me up on the shelf
Someone else saw in me
Everything that you thought came free

Now I don't give a damn what you think
Drown it down with another drink
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, too
Now you see that this is through.

This was trial by fire
and you went up in flames
Sick of all the bullshit, lies, and games
To think of what I offered you
When there were so many better things to do
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, too
Get it through your head that this is through

This is my awakening
And I don't owe you a god damn thing.
GO!

Recorded At: 
Hot Pump Studios - Atlantic City and Jersey City locations
