Chastity has since 2007 released seven albums from Minneapolis that she calls "new blues," but which spread into pop, Americana, soul, and Irish-flavored spirituals.

We discuss "Wonderment" and listen at the end to "Back Seat" from Sing to the Walls (2022), "Drive Slow" from Silhouette of Sirens (2017), "Many Prayers" from Do the Best You Can (2007). Intro: "Colorado" (a 2014 single included on 2017's Silhouette of Sirens). More at chastitybrownmusic.com.

The daughter of a blues musician in Tennessee and originally a saxophone player, Chastity has since 2007 released seven albums from Minneapolis that she calls “new blues,” but which spread into pop, Americana, soul, and Irish-flavored spirituals. We discuss “Wonderment” (co-written with Dan Wilson) and listen at the end to “Back Seat” from Sing to the Walls (2022), “Drive Slow” (co-written with Robert Mulrennan) from Silhouette of Sirens (2017), “Many Prayers” from Do the Best You Can (2007). Intro: “Colorado” (a 2014 single included on 2017’s Silhouette of Sirens). More at chastitybrownmusic.com. Hear all of “Colorado.” This recent live show begins with a nearly solo version (with drums) of “Wonderment.” Here it is live with her full band, and here’s “Drive Slow” similarly live. Here’s the live take where she’s playing piano that I referred to, and here’s the video for “By the Train Tracks” that comes up as an example of her delivering black vernacular. Here she is on banjo. (No, I could find any footage of her on saxophone!) Photo by Brad Ogbonna. Interview editing by Tyler Hislop. Hear more Nakedly Examined MusicLike our Facebook page. Support us on Patreon.
