专辑简介

"Forbes has a fine, velvety voice." -- Stephen Brookes, Washington Post "China Forbes has a clear and precise instrument, the perfect voice to convey cosmopolitan air." -- Nate Chinen, New York Times
　　
　　For ten years, China Forbes has toured the world as lead singer of the celebrated "little orchestra" Pink Martini. Invited to join the band by Harvard classmate Thomas M. Lauderdale, Forbes set aside a blossoming career as a singer-songwriter to front the ensemble full-time. Praised as "an unpretentious pitch-perfect chanteuse" by John Pareles of the New York Times, Forbes has grown into an accomplished performer and built a devoted, diverse fan base around the globe. On her long-awaited solo album, Forbes dusts off her guitar and returns to her roots, displaying strikingly personal songs in a style all her own. Filled with intimate stories of love, loneliness, friendship, and alienation, Forbes recorded the album in her hometown with producer/drummer Gregg Williams (Sheryl Crow, The Wallflowers, Dandy Warhols). The stolen sessions allowed Forbes to work discreetly when not on the road with Pink Martini, resulting in a true expression of relaxed creativity. While '78 is a noted departure from the sounds of Pink Martini, fans will recognize the autobiographical "Hey Eugene," appearing here as it was originally written. Backed by Gregg Williams and Eric Earley (Blitzen Trapper), with cameos by Eric Matthews and Phil Baker (Pink Martini), Forbes plays a variety of instruments--including guitar, piano, bass, harmonium, and Wurlitzer-- making this record clearly and uniquely hers.
