Artist:	BABY DEE
Title:	Safe Inside The Day
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	DC 351CD

"I was born in Cleveland, Ohio. This album is very much about the street I grew up on. Where The Earlie King ruled without mercy. And Bobby Slot and Freddy Weiss invented the Dance of Diminishing Possibilities. I left for New York in 1972 and eventually became a musician. I was good at the sacred and I was good at the profane but I could never get the hang of anything in between and I went from the street to the church to the street again and then I stopped. I found myself back in Cleveland and began to write songs. And then I stopped writing songs. I thought I had said everything I had to say and there was nothing left to say, so I simply stopped. And then I remembered Bobby Slot and Freddy Weiss and my own father and all the little ghosts that lived with us and I realized that there was something left to say after all. The inside is bigger than the outside, more important, and less destructible. 'Many mansions' and all that. Kingdom of god. I love everybody." --Dee

Title:	A Book Of Songs For Anne Marie
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	DC 432CD

"After seeing the overwhelming response to Safe Inside the Day in February 2008, the peerless Baby Dee returns with A Book of Songs For Anne Marie. What was overwhelming about the response was the pure reaction to the purity of expression in Dee's music. That dizzying sense of self is again an essential feature of this new music. While the last album was lit with the production fire of Will Oldham and Matt Sweeney, A Book of Songs For Anne Marie glows softly with the calming presence of Maxim Moston (arranger of some standing and part of Antony and the Johnsons' touring band). In essence, this album is a prequel to Safe Inside the Day. The songs here were released in a different set of recordings and in a limited edition book form (150 copies!) on David Tibet's Durtro label back in 2004. For most listeners, this is its first outing."

Title:	Regifted Light
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	DC 462CD

"One of entertainment's most flamboyant musical artistes of the last decade, Baby Dee is back with a new LP, Regifted Light, on Drag City Records. The album is not merely charming, nor simply enchanting and/or deeply touching -- it is also an unusually arrayed album, scattering four vocal performances among eight smartly arranged, classically focused instrumentals, creating quintessential Baby Dee in all her unconventional glory. Baby Dee is an extraordinarily feeling talent on the keyboard, and while she can play anything put before her, her passion is for the concert grand: The Steinway D in particular, or, as she puts it, her 'Rolls Royce of choice.' This album was composed on a very special Steinway D that has been living with Dee for the past few years and is as responsible as she is for the dynamic music and sounds of Regifted Light." Produced by Andrew W.K.!
