Product Description
The Forgotten Arm is the new studio album from the Grammy and Oscar nominated singer/songwriter Aimee Mann. Aimee’s songs have a literary quality to them sharp, spare short stories set to music so it was probably inevitable that she would one day make a concept album, the musical equivalent of a novella. The Forgotten Arm , her fifth solo release, is exactly that: a dozen songs that tell, rather loosely, the story of John and Caroline as they meet, fall in love and road trip across America.
From the Artist
Mann has never been one to make too much of her musical influences, but here she proudly wears them on her sleeve: The Band, Elton Johns Tumbleweed Connection, Rod Stewarts Every Picture Tells a Story and, oddly enough, Mott the Hoople. “Actually, when the guys and I were recording, I described the sound as Mott the Hoople meets alt-country. And not that I listened to Mott the Hoople so much, I just have a very specific memory of being invited to go to a Mott the Hoople concert but I had to go to a family reunion. So it all kind of ties into it, you know, the groovy rock concert that I never got to go to.”
