Adrienne Piece's latest LP "Oh Deer"? Many of the songs were older and the demo's were great. She has had brilliant co-writers and producers in the past.... Jeff Trott (Cheryl Crow when she launched) & Thom Russo (Janet Jackson, Johnny Cash many others) Niko Friesen (great session drummer canadian) and John O'Brien Anyway.... If you listen to her older work and then the Winter EP which was produced by Ari Shine and the songs he produced on "oh Deer" and if you have ears....you'll hear instrument parts that dont quite jive and the quality of the production goes down... the cheesy organ, stepping to its own planet guitar, and things that sound out of place or don't in any way compare to her other work, will, indeed reveal themselves in the credits as attributed to Ari Shine. And she married him, so it's a case of the husband took over. Which, I could see coming.....I heard him back her up a few times and he was on another planet. If I was holding auditions, he would not have cut the mustard. And I was, as I had been supporting Adrienne's work, as previously she was very well supported and her songs were wonderfully realised. But I could see this one coming and while he was eager to have me on board to get free photo's or marketing support - there is no way I was gonna back that pony at the races. I know my horses. I have limited time/money/energy and can stick to my own standards....and guess what....I need to....I need to enjoy the people I work with...if they make me feel like putting my fingers in my ears....I'm out of there. So someone made up some weird stories about it being personal... Yes, my time and energy and my reputation is personal and if you want to create a trainwreck out of someones career, I'll jump off the train....and everyone will hear about it. Ari's brand of music sounds more like 80's rocker boy sunset strip - Warrant, et al. You can tell....not my scene, right?? Good.... If you don't believe me.... Pick up the album and be sure to compare it to her previous work. It happens - you know, boyfriend gets in there... career takes a dive. It's horrible when you have invested in it and that's what happens... It's even worse when people who don't know you start to make up stories that it was all personal. Well... Not on my end - did not measure up to my standards and I could tell right away. I was even nice and gave him a few tries... Oh no, I was dead sure. You can hear for yourself now. Case closed.
