                 Brigitte Purdy - Her latest is called "Mother of the Crossroads" ,a wonderful and unforgettable blues, soul, and Americana album that blends storytelling, soulful vocals, and a rich, emotive sound that is irresistibly addictive. Whether you're driving, walking, just listening, or sharing with friends, the music's warmth and depth make the album as a whole—from track to track—feel like a sonic journey through Brigitte's world. "Mother of the Crossroads" is a journey of the heart.

                 

                                        With a voice shaped by gospel, soul, grit, and live experiences, this award-winning blues and roots artist doesn't simply sing the blues - she testifies through it. Brigitte's vocal artistry can be described as a living, ever-changing spectrum of sound, much like a kaleidoscope of musical textures - constantly shifting in tone, texture, and emotion. Brigitte is proof positive that a singer is more than just having a gifted voice. Here we have a compelling performer whose emotional honesty connects with listeners. Brigitte brings the warmth of classic soul, the emotional depth of the blues, and the smooth elegance of R&B to audiences everywhere. You can feel the earthiness of 70's funk and down-home Chicago blues in many of her vocal performances. Her powerful energy and unrelenting passion come through, igniting her combustible performances. She carries a strong sense of panache - a blend of style, flair, and personal authenticity that makes Brigitte stand out in a crowded music scene.

                       

                                    "Mother of the Crossroads"  - Dedicated to the memory of Brigitte's beloved grandmother, Netty, who not only sang like an angel but embodied one as well. Whose love, voice, and spirit continue to live in the music. The new album is both a tribute and a testament to the people and experiences that have shaped Brigitte's extraordinary journey.

                "Mother of the Crossroads" was produced by Dave Osti and recorded at his Dirtshack Studio in Los Angeles, California. Dave is widely recognized for his riff-orientated guitar skills and songwriting abilities, possessing a unique style and musical vision. According to Grooveyard Records Dave Osti is a seasoned musical veteran who "knows what time of day it is when it comes to the riffage that matters." Dave is also a remarkable instrumentalist, providing guitar, bass, drums, acoustic piano, and percussion to these sessions. He produces sublime guitar work that prioritizes feel and tone over showmanship while also preserving "old school guitar rock mojo" (Grooveyard Records - Grooveyard Records )

   

Dirty Dave Osti is an inspired & talented guitarist, songwriter, producer & sonic mojo man... Osti is a bad-ass, righteous, riff:master who digs deep with his superb, original brand of 70s-inspired, old-school, bluesy guitar rock mojo complete with his trademark, whiskey-soaked, soul-powered vocals.

                                  "Mother of the Crossroads" - Brigitte and Dave have produced an album that is incredibly diverse in mood and approach. From the outstanding opener, "Sugar Fried Candy," a fiery, blues-infused soul track, heartfelt, with surging rock and roll influences, to the sexy "Blues Collar Woman," and "Rise Like The Water" with its strong grooves and memorable hooks, the arrangement and energy giving this track a blues-rock edge.

                        "Make Love Higher" has a soulful, bluesy groove with a powerful vocal performance that soars. It is an irresistible and addictive track, compelling listeners to play it over and over again as loud as possible.

                        Plenty of swampy, riff-driven, Southern rock appears on the tracks "Losin Time For Love" and "Too Full Of You"—propulsive and explosive,a sonic odyssey filled with so many wonderful; surprises along the way.

​

                       "Memphis Hotline" is a rollicking blues shuffle that takes us on a whirlwind tour through Memphis—a foot-stomper and a hip shaker daring you to sit still. It has hooks to spare, tangy, smoky, and slightly sticky - a groove that pulls you in, the grit that sticks to your skin, and the heat that lingers long after this song ends.

 

                        "Mother of the Crossroads" is filled with unforgettable performances and timeless echoes across the American soundscape. This is a highly enjoyable, good-time, and fun release from Brigitte Purdy, Dave Osti, and Special Guests - Michael Fell,harmonica,Jimmy Keegan,drums,Drake Shining on backing vocals- who work together, complementing one another and delivering each track with plenty of heart. So enjoyable you'll find yourself playing this one over and over again.
