HEIDI BERRY - Pomegranate: An Anthology (2001)

Heidi Berry is an American singer-songwriter. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Berry's mother was a jazz singer with French-Canadian roots, and her father was an actor. The family moved to London in the early 1970s. Introduced to Creation Records by Pete Astor in 1987, Berry recorded Firefly, a six-song mini-album. A full-length album Below the Waves followed in 1989. In 1991, Ivo Watts-Russell asked Berry to sing on the third album by This Mortal Coil, and over the next five years she recorded three albums for 4AD. Berry now teaches at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music.

Heidi Berry may claim her influences are Billie Holiday and Chrissie Hynde, but the British singer/songwriter's hushed, introspective music is closer to Nick Drake, Sarah McLachlan, and especially Beth Orton than anything the Pretenders have ever laid to tape. That said, anyone interested in her haunted folk 'n' country crooning should look to the material on her first anthology, Pomegranate, which wonderfully sums up Berry's career to date. With songs spanning Berry's handful of releases, the album also includes demos, a Bob Mould cover ("Up in the Air"), enhanced videos, and artist-penned stories for each song. Impeccably sequenced, the 14 tracks balance Berry's pessimistic and upbeat moments, and the resulting compilation is a must-have for fans of her late-night lullabies.
