JAM POD NOV 21


Artist: Orton, Beth


Orton hears healers
British singer-songwriter Beth Orton also has an anticipated new record in stores next Tuesday with Daybreaker. Highlights include two vocal appearances by Ryan Adams on the first single Concrete Sky -- co-written by Johnny Marr (The Smiths) -- and God Song. Adams also offered up his own tune, O.K. for Orton to perform.

"To work with him -- it was just liberation," Orton told The Sun when she was in town last month. "It's like I am torn because I, think in a way, these records (Daybreaker, Central Reservation, Trailer Park) are like a trilogy, the first one, the second one, and the third one, and it's kind of, 'I've done it now.' But I have to say though, when I meet someone like Ryan, and I work like that, or Johnny Marr, the sensation is really exciting and it really just like lights my f---ing world up."

Soulful Orton explores folk roots
's Exit Planet Dust and this year's Dig Your Own Hole."It's a very word-of-mouth-thing, but it must have helped," says Orton of her involvement with the Chemical Brothers, prior to her solo show at Lee's Palace tonight.

The six-foot-tall Orton, a one-time actress and native of Norwich who grew up listening to Joni Mitchell, Janis Ian, Neil Young and the Rolling Stones, was certainly in with the "in" crowd in London before her musical breakthrough.
