Inara George, daughter of late 'Little Feat' songwriter Lowell George releases her solo debut on Loose.

All Rise & Genius by Inara George

Inara George - daughter of the late Little Feat guitarist and songwriter Lowell George releases and recent Sunday Times' Culture magazine cover star - unveils her solo debut album.

"...with the jazz-tinged, sophisto-folk settings creating an air of languid uncertainty, the result is one of the more beguiling singer-songwriter albums of recent months." - The Independent

"...she is rightly compared to Suzanne Vega and Cat Power." - The Daily Telegraph

Produced and largely co-written by Michael Andrews - probably most famous for composing the Donnie Darko film score - All Rise is a collection of lush, intimately crafted songs. The lilting opener Mistress and the stomping Genius are amongst the many highlights of an album that demonstrates Inara George's subtly seductive vocals and natural flair for memorable songwriting.

Many listeners have already drawn favourable comparisons to the likes of Emiliana Torrini, Beth Orton, Bjork or Aimee Mann.

Remarkable

All Rise also features a remarkable interpretation of Fools in Love, the original version of which appears of Joe Jackson's accomplished 1979 debut Look Sharp!

The full tracklisting for All Rise looks like this:

1. Mistress
2. Fools Work
3. Genius
4. No Poem
5. What a Number
6. Fools in Love
7. Good to Me
8. White Lights
9. Pull Things
10. Turn On/Off
11. A Day
12. Everybody Knows

Inara George is backed on All Rise by a band led by Andrews (guitars) and completed by Chris Stillwell (bass), Pete
McNeal (drums) and Greg Kurstin (keyboards). Jackson Browne - her godfather - makes a guest appearance on standout track A Day.

Although this is her solo debut, Inara George previously released the summer-pop album Legs & Arms with Lode before releasing the self-titled album and Hard and Fast Driving Club as part of Merrick. Recently, she has toured the States alongside Idlewild and Nada Surf and has also collaborated on new material with Idlewild guitarist Rod Jones.
