MELANIE WIEGMANN & CARL CARLTON
MELANIE WIEGMANN & CARL CARLTON ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM!
The couple uses the forced break on the Mediterranean island to devote themselves to music. In
the foreground are the sheer joy playing music and the shared love for the songs. No one is
thinking about commercial exploitation. The common thread that connects all the songs: the
eternal theme of love – with all its shades. Carl and Melanie develop arrangements and realize
that not only their voices, but also their tastes harmonize. The Great Americana Songbook
forms the basis; in addition to genre classics like “Love Hurts” and “If I Needed You”, the
Beatles (“Here, There And Every- where”) and gems from the catalogs of great songwriters like
Leonard Cohen (“Dance Me To The End Of Love”), Tom Petty (“Wildflowers”) and John
Prine (“Long Monday”) come into play. When travel is possible again, the two pack their bags
to visit Carl’s worldwide family of musicians. The songs are recorded in Ireland, Berlin and
finally on Malta. The finishing touches for the album were done in New York by mastering
legend Fred Kevorkian. GLORY OF LOVE is a warm-hearted musical diary that convinces
with its idiosyncratic song selection, unpretentious arrangements and natural charm.
Perhaps the nicest surprise is that not only two souls have found each other here, but also two
wonderfully harmonizing voices.
