Performed with the Concertina Wire. "Janet Bean has a gift for penning melodic and distinctive music. Born in Florida and coming of age in Kentucky, Ms. Bean was influenced by the regional American music she heard there, as well as the punk music of the time. A multi-instrumentalist, Janet sings as well as plays drums in Eleventh Dream Day. With Dragging Wonder Lake, Ms. Bean has created a record that speaks in an entirely new voice. This voice is more assured and open than the voices she conjured on any previous work. The album is comprised of songs that chronicle personal and allegorical elements from Bean's life. The Concertina Wire is an outstanding group of Chicago musicians. These range from well-known free improvisers Fred Lonberg-Holm and Jim Baker to veteran accompanists John Abbey, Jon Speigel and Dan Leali."
