GRAMMY-NOMINATED TIERNEY SUTTON BAND SEEKS THE PATH TO THE TRUE SELF IN NEW TELARC RECORDING Desire due at retail on March 3, 2009 For better or worse, we live in a society that is fascinated by wealth and fame indeed, even obsessed with it. Our film stars, sports figures, financiers and pop icons are elevated and even worshiped as something more than human. Nearly all of us are fascinated with these larger-than-life figures. For some of us, the secret desire is to actually become one of them. Tierney Sutton, a leading figure in vocal jazz for nearly a decade, maintains that the obsession with fame and material things a phenomenon that has been accelerated and amplified in this media-centric new century is wasted energy. Worse yet, it comes with a dark aspect that can infect the soul. Such is the premise of Desire, her new album set for release on Telarc on March 3, 2009. While the songs in this eleven-track set are mostly jazz standards, they are framed by opening and closing tracks that are embellished with lyrics lifted from sacred religious and spiritual texts that speak to the evils of greed and the inordinate desire for fame and worldly goods. To me, this record is about stepping back and recognizing the difference between the voices we hear that are not our own and the ones that are truly within us, Sutton explains, and discovering that the material things that we want or desire are not usually a path to happiness, and are not usually a path to ourselves.
