Info for Water Falls
Folk-pop, jazz-blues, scat-vocals and just a hint of avant-garde: Sara K., the singer/songwriter based in Santa Fe, New Mexico (originally from Dallas, Texas), has never paid much attention to musical borders. With her excitingly expressive voice and 4-string guitar, she occupies a niche that is no less unique than the stories she sings. Sara has lived these stories, is right in the middle of them and relates them from the heart: warm, personal and moving.
With this personal stamp, her musical and vocal versatility and the incredible warmth and clarity of her songs, Sara has created a fan-base that extends far beyond the borders of the guitar genre. Her desire for perfection, both in the studio and on stage, has also enabled her to sing and play her way into the hearts of the hi-fidelity gourmets.
Stockfisch Records is pleased to announce the release of Sara K.'s acclaimed 2002 album, Water Falls, on double 180g direct metal mastered vinyl. The uncompromising quality of Sara's smooth vocals and Chris Jones' guitar combined with Guenter Paulers' production make for another soulful journey into one of music's most gifted artists.
"Sara K. once again presents herself brilliantly as one of the top singer-songwriters, combining the elegance of a Joni Mitchell with the forcefulness of a Tracy Chapman. Pauler and Sara have pulled out all the stops of modern studio technology here. An analysis of the opulent multi-track recordings reveals a very open sound with no hard edges, airy and unbelievably dynamic, in all, Stockfisch Records' singing calling card." (Matthias Inhoffen, stereoplay)

Sara K.
ist eine Klasse für sich. Diese Sängerin verfügt über die seltene Gabe, den Zuhörer emotional zu packen, allein mit ihrer spontanen und intensiven Ausstrahlung, der man kaum widerstehen kann. Alle Alben, die sie eingespielt hat, erhielten hochkarätige Auszeichnungen sowie mehrere Jazz-Awards.
Wer Sara K. je gehört hat weiß, warum sie von der deutschen HiFi-Presse zur Queen of Audiophile erkoren wurde. Mit aufregender Stimme und vier(!)saitiger Gitarre besetzt sie eine ungewöhnliche musikalische Nische, die auf der Welt ebenso einmalig ist wie die Geschichten, die sie singt. Sara K. hat sie selbst erlebt, ist mittendrin und erzählt. Warm, persönlich und berührend.
Die Karriere der in Santa Fe, New Mexico lebenden Singer/Songwriterin begann 1990 mit der Veröffentlichung von Closer Than They Appear auf dem audiophilen Label Chesky. Bis 2001 blieb sie Chesky treu und veröffentlichte dort weitere 6 Alben. 2002 wechselte sie zu der deutschen Klangschmiede Stockfisch, auf dem sie bisher weitere 5 Alben veröffentlicht hat. Ihre Alben erhielten allesamt nicht nur von der HiFi-Presse hochkarätige Auszeichnungen, mehrere Alben wurden mit einem Jazz-Award belohnt (Tell Me I’m not Dreaming, Hobo, Water Falls) - und nicht zu vergessen: das „Goldene Audio-Ohr 1994“ für Play on Words.
"Her beautiful writing is something one must experience themselves. Her high sweet but dirty voice is one not to pass up. Her unique style of guitar and music in general is one to take her much further than following the crowd would." - BLUES ON STAGE
