Lynne Ferguson has
released her latest official album, “Lo Siento Mi Vida.” The
title track features a performance from fellow blues legend, Tracy
Nelson.
The album contains 11
Lynne Ferguson tracks for an approximate total listening time of 40
minutes. It has been proudly published as an independent release
without the involvement of the corporate music industry on the Zombie
Pile record label. Heartfelt, narrative, and filled with the original
folk music spirit, “Lo Siento Mi Vida” showcases Lynne Ferguson
as a tried and true singer-songwriter with plenty of stories to tell
and a genuine voice with which to tell them.
Suquamish, WA's Lynne
Ferguson cites as main artistic influences Ella Fitzgerald, Tracy
Nelson, and Mavis Staples. Lynne Ferguson's own style is likely to
appeal to fans of Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Billy Jo Spears, and other
founders of the original Americana sound. With an emphasis on
traditional song structures, true-to-life themes, and her natural,
unassuming vocals, “Lo Siento Mi Vida” by Lynne Ferguson has a
little something for everybody.
“Lo Siento Mi
Vida” is the 17th official release from Lynne Ferguson. It is her
most prominent release since her seasonal EP, “Winter Songs,” and
popular “Everybody Lies” single which is included on this new LP
album (both 2013). Proceeds from “Lo Siento Mi Vida” benefit her
Native Horsemanship Youth Program (NHYP) which she founded and
directs from her home on the Port Madison Indian Reservation.
“I am retired from touring,” Ferguson says of this, “but I record and do limited concerts to support the NHYP.”

A bona-fide veteran of
folk and country-western music, Lynne Ferguson has been writing and
performing music for decades. She has recorded with Mark O’Connor,
Jerry Douglas, Eddie Bayers, Clayton Ivey (the Wrecking Crew) and
many more. Her career found strong, early support in the form of avid
Lynne Ferguson advocate and blues legend, Taj Mahal, with whom she
toured as his opening act.
“Taj Mahal invited
me to open several of his shows and sent me great songs to record,”
writes Ferguson, “songs by the then-unknown Lyle Lovett. Since then
I have raised my five children and some nieces and nephews playing
music for a living. It's been wonderful.”
“Lo Siento Mi
Vida” by Lynne Ferguson on the Zombie Pile label is available from
over 600 quality digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in
early, folk and country fans.
