(the 2007 IndepenDisc of the Year)
Issue #130                                     Mar. '10

The Cover record. Not a new concept. In fact, I’d be hard pressed to name any that were worth the price of admission. More common in the 50’s & 60’s when there were bands that made their living scoring chart topping hits off of cover tunes; nowadays it’s more a gimmick than a mainstay.

So what would possess a relatively obscure independent band to not only record and release a full album of cover tunes, but also to make it an album of covers of obscure independent songs released by fellow obscure independent artists? Maybe the fact that they made a Great record.

With their 4th release (1 full length & 2 EPs prior),
Cover Thy Neighbor, Saint Bernadette from Bridgeport, CT have matured into the great artistic band they showed they were with their 1st release, In The Ballroom - a provocative, sultry, sexy, sensual exploration of the alluring side of  Jazz, Latin, Blues, Rock, Swing, Big Band, lounge, cabaret, and torch sound. It was named the 2007 IndepenDisc of the Year riding Meredith DiMenna’s (vocals, acoustic guitars) seductive vocals and husband Keith Saunders (electric/acoustic guitars, percussion, keys) arrangements and production of the songs along with Joe Novelli (Astral slide guitar, trumpets), which made for a stunning debut. The 2 follow up EPs, I Wanna Tell You Something (08) and Word To The Lourdes (09), were recorded with guest musicians, including now band members, Brian Anderson (upright bass) and Dave Valle (drums, percussion), and found St. B. – as their fans are fond of referring to them – hitting the rock side hard with Meredith’s lounge/torch singer seductress kicking ass in a hard edge way that still had all the divinity of satin and lace swaddled in leather and chains.

It was there, out on the edge, that St. B. found themselves. Major supporters of the arts, they threw themselves into the musical culture that was coming out of Connecticut, especially in the Fairfield County area in which they reside. Experiencing an epiphany in the quality of music/songwriting they were hearing, they decided to bear witness and spread the word. St. B. once again knelt at the alter of Meredith’s flowing command of torch vocals and the polished Joe Novelli Sound (I’m on record here as christening the cries that his self-built astral guitar reels off at will as the: “Joe Novelli Sound”). Together with the Anderson/Valle tight, syncopated rhythm and capped off with Keith’s command of guitars and production and St. B. has given us an incredible record that stands on its own, even though it is composed of 11 cover tunes.

Cover Thy Neighbor
is an accomplishment that St B. and their fans should savor. They have taken the words/songs of 11 prophets and have preached them to us from the pulpit of the church of Saint Bernadette. The result is an amazing testament to the saving grace of the music that
St. B.
spreads as their gospel.

In keeping with the sanctity of the subject, Saint Bernadette took extra special care in the deliverance of this sermon by hand-pressing only 200 copies. Presented in a beautiful, silk-screened, individually numbered package, complete with booklet and extras, it is a rare treat in this day and age of over mass-produced music that is force-fed to us.

The Cover record. Not a new concept. In fact, I’d be hard pressed to name any that were worth the price of admission.

No, wait.

There were only 200 copies of this Limited Edition CD pressed with Special silkscreened, hand numbered packaging. Saint Bernadette saw to it that IndepenDisc now has a few of the final copies available. This is a Rare Gem.

11 tracks covering Connecticut Artists, yet so obscure that this could pass for a Saint Bernadette original. One of their best releases, it shows a band so on top of their game that they can belt out what it takes to make any song their own.


Don't wait to get your copy of this amzing CD!
Once they're gone, they're gone.
