Baby Dee
Eccentric folkster Will Oldham has already recorded albums with her, as has neo-hardrocker Andrew WK. This is only one of countless reasons why Baby Dee only needs to travel with one drummer. It’s enough to create an operetta: Baby Dee at the piano, mumbling expressively, unpretentiously hitting the high notes in falsetto. Baby Dee melancholy and Baby Dee burlesque. Her life experience shimmers through her songs, sometimes shines through them, a life which has included a period in the street circus Kamikaze Freak Show, the founding of a lumber company specialising in urban green spaces, a guest appearance on Antony and The Johnsons’ debut album, being the musical director of a Catholic church congregation in the Bronx and a sex change to become a woman.
