In 1996, Tracy Bonham’s debut album The Burdens of Being Upright put the young Berklee School of Music student on mainstream map with a hit single, “Mother Mother,” and launched a recording career that has never waned. For her latest recording, Bonham chose to record entirely new renditions of each song on her debut, featuring lead vocals by seven female artists including Tanya Donelly of Belly, Rachel Yamagata and New Pornagraphers’ Kathryn Calder
“I wanted to revamp and refurbish the songs and put them to a modern template,” Bonham said. “To make it a creative endeavor, not just a commercial one.”
