Sarah Siskind is poised for a breakout year in 2009. The much-lauded singer/songwriter, whose songs have been recorded by country artist Randy Travis and bluegrass megastar Alison Krauss (who earned a Grammy nomination for her rendition of Siskind’s “Simple Love”), finished 2008 opening for folk crooner Bon Iver during his recent tour of Europe. Siskind’s latest solo record, Say It Louder, promises to place Siskind at the forefront of the Americana movement. Rich with her soulful voice and poetic lyrics, Say It Louder roams from the rocking opener “Falling Stars” and the guitar driven “Dress Me Up” to the stripped down, somber piano of “Reasons To Love” and the haunting a cappella “Go.” Say It Louder is a tremendous record that well defines Sarah Siskind’s multifaceted talents.
