Anni Piper est née et a grandi en Australie. Depuis quelques années elle s’est installée à Portland dans l’Oregon . Elle commence sa carrière comme guitariste mais rapidement elle s’oriente vers la basse, préférant le groove que dégage cet instrument plutôt que de se lancer dans des solos de guitares interminables. En 2004, elle sort son premier album Jailbait, immédiatement signé chez le prestigieux label de blues Australien Black Market Music.

L’année suivante, elle a gagné un Australian Blues Music Award pour son premier album .Aujourd’hui elle nous revient avec son nouvel album Blow up Doll. Le groove de sa basse est bien présent sur Blow up Doll avec Uncrustables, le premier titre dont l’intro fait résonner son instrument de prédilection.

Elle a écrit six nouveaux titres pour cet album ; cinq reprises figurent également dessus, elles sont toutes refaites à sa façon. Il peut falloir un certain moment avant de les reconnaître, par exemple Get Right Church de Mississippi Fred McDowell en duo avec Bob Shoemaker est plutôt surprenante. Bob Shoemaker contribue sur cinq titres dans cet album sur lequel on retrouve également Pink Cadillac de Bruce Springsteen, Cake Walk Into Town de Taj Mahal, Sailin ‘Shoes de Lowell George , Built For Comfort de Willie Dixon. Blow up Doll est son deuxième album produit sur son propre label Sugar Daddy Records. Il est évident qu’à l’écoute de cet excellent album, le CD restera longtemps sur votre platine.

Pour les forts en anglais:

“Blow Up Doll” is Anni Piper’s first recording since relocating to Oregon several years ago. Produced at Jimi Bott’s Roseleaf Recording, Piper brought together an impressive collection of some of the area’s finest musicians and laid down an incredible mix of original and cover material of rousing musical depth and accuracy. Piper is in fine form, both vocally and instrumentally, and her songwriting here is some of the best she has ever produced. There is never a lull throughout the disc, and her accompanying musicians offer fiery support for her performances, all the more impressive since much of the disk was recored live in the studio, often using the first take.

Piper’s originals compositions often take their inspiration from her life experiences. These tunes deal with the failed relationships of those who needed to be in control and her new resolve to move forward. The title track, “Blow Up Doll,” a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition last year, details a former partner who treated her as something to just cast aside once he found what he was looking for. “Big Bengal” describes her new direction in relationships by focusing on her pet cat, while the closing “24 Guys Named Dave” is a humorous tune about dating only guys named Dave and what they’ll offer to her.

On the tracks that Piper covers, they’re all completely redone in her own fashion and may take a moment before they’re recognized. “Get Right Church,” “Cake Walk Into Town” and “Sailin’ Shoes” are great examples of how well she teams up with guitarist/vocalist Bob Shoemaker. Other first-rate covers include Bruce Springsteen’s “Pink Cadillac” and Willie Dixon’s “Built For Comfort; and again Piper has treated them as her own making them fresh and exciting.

There is a bevy of tremendous guitar playing throughout the album aside from Shoemaker’s remarkable work, including great riffs from Joseph Barton on “Contagious” and interplay between AC Porter and Ben Rice on “Big Bengal,” and Troy Johnson lays it out nicely on “Uncrustables.” Other artists contributing are Steve Kerin on keys, Melonie Owen on vocals, drummers Dave Melyan, Jeff Hudis and Jeff Aboott, and of course engineer/producer Jimi Bott delivers nice percussion, too.

“Blow Up Doll” is one of those albums that will be considered as one of the best of the region when this year comes to an end, and it should be played for a great deal of time long once this year is over. Anni Piper has created a true gem here.
