Recently I have listened to a Country radio show by Bob Harris from the BBC. The second song of this show was the song Wasting my Time<\/strong> by Zoe Muth<\/strong>, a nice song which also includes a great mandolin part. This song is also available on Zoe Muth’s myspace page (see below).<\/p>\n

In the meantime I have listened to some youtube videos, I have visited Zoe Muth’s myspace page and searched for more information. Zoe Muth was born in Seattle and grew up there. She grep up with the music by the Beatles, Buddy Holly, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and with MTV. But now she writes and sings songs in the typical Country style. On her homepage you can read about “The Story so Far”:<\/p>\n

Growing up we were raised on the classic rock and roll, the Beatles, Buddy Holly, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, when mtv was actually music television.<\/p>\n

Somehow, the country sound just lends itself to the way I feel, and the stories I want to tell.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“How does a kid growing up in Seattle in the 1980\u2019s end up making country music?”<\/p>\n

I get asked all the time. I usually say, “I don\u2019t know, I just open my mouth when I sing and that\u2019s what comes out.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In her band Lost High Rollers<\/strong> she sings and plays the guitar, Ethan Lawton plays mandolin, Dave Harmonson steel-guitar or electric guitar and Greg Nies plays on drums.<\/p>\n

This is the song The Running Kid<\/strong> in the album version with pictures of Zoe Muth and the band:<\/p>\n

Artikel CMT Blog: Seattle’s Zoe Muth Embraces Sad Songs, Steel Guitar<\/a><\/p>\n

I bought her EP, intrigued with her easygoing, ’70s-sounding, steel-guitar-laced tunes. After the show I asked her, as a fan more than as a reporter, to please keep me posted on the progress of her first full-length album. Lo and behold, it arrived last week, and I’ve listened to it almost every day<\/strong> since then, never skipping over a track. If your own favorite country singers came from the vinyl era, don’t let this one pass you by. (You can hear some of the tunes on her MySpace page.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Artikel Seattle Weekly: Zoe Muth: Our Own Emmylou<\/a><\/p>\n

For five years, Muth has been performing original country songs not just in Ballard, but all over the city. She sings in a lilting drawl that smacks of a young Emmylou Harris, though as a high-school kid teaching herself guitar, she says she attempted to emulate artists like Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
