Sultry Mississippi Piano Songstress Eden Brent Finds Inspiration In Unexpected Places

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Yellow Dog Records/ Shore Fire Media) - For her latest release 'Ain't Got No Troubles' (9/7, Yellow Dog Records), smoky-voiced piano sensation Eden Brent displays a songwriting style that is all her own. Whether listening to the rhythm of the pavement while driving on the open road or discovering subtle melodies created by the sound of the river rolling by, Brent's songwriting technique is as eccentric as her music. "Every location has a different sound and I use those sounds to help me create my songs," Brent explains.

Brent penned eight of the twelve tracks for her sparkling new album, the most she's written for a single record to date. They exhibit a keen sense of clever wordplay - the juke joint jumper "In Love With Your Wallet" invokes the wry observations of fellow Mississippi muse Mose Allison, while the vaudeville throwback "My Man" is peppered with double entendre. But there's also considerable nuance: the sly tenderness of the intimate "If I Can't", the after-hours anguish of "Blues All Over," and the soulful, heartbreaking ballad "Leave Me Alone."

Brent modestly describes the album's title track as her "tribute to the open, carefree lifestyle of her hometown along the Mississippi river," but it's much more than that: It's a near-iconic blues song that has the singer finding ironic contentment in the things she lacks. No money, no friends, no man - and, therefore, no worries. It's as pointed a summation of the blues aesthetic as you're likely to hear. Or as another great songwriter once said, "When you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose."
