Noted author Robert Gordon on SusanMarshall's new album ''Little Red'' - ''The bridges built by Susan Marshall'sLittle Red cross oceans, oceanicexpanses of time, and disparate musical styles. Though rooted solidly in the present day, with hip European sonic loops and technological tricks, the album conjures Memphis of the 1960s and 70s, specifically South Memphis where Stax and Hi cut funky grooves that continue to propel the Memphis vapors decades later.It s an evocation, not an imitation. It stoday, built on yesterday. Little Red is the third release by Memphis soul singer Susan Marshall, and follows2005's Firefly and 2003's Honeymouth.The album contains an eclectic mix ofMarshall originals, alongside a few choice covers: ''Don't Let Me Down'', ''Going To Town'' and ''Femme Fatale.'' Special guests include Lucinda Williams, Greg Dulli (Afghan Whigs, Gutter Twins) and soul legend Teenie Hodges (Al Green). Little Red was produced by Jeff Powell (AfghanWhigs, Bob Dylan, Tonic) and Henry Olsen (Primal Scream, Beth Orton, Nico) and was recorded mainly in London and Memphis.
