Sixpence None the Richer The Fatherless And The Widow
Artist Info:Discography Album length: 10 tracks: 40 minutes, 22 seconds Street Date: 1994
This album is beautiful in its simplicity. It doesn't try to do anything new, exciting or
complicated. This is music in its simplest form. The messages it conveys are simple yet profound.
They are those little proverbs that don't really say anything you don't already know, but still
need to be said and can sometimes open our minds to the most beautiful things that we sometimes miss
in our daily hurry.
The Fatherless and the Widow was Sixpence None the Richer's first album
and was not very well distributed when released. It was made in 1993 and sounds nothing like any of
the music that was popular at the time which in a lot of ways is a major plus because it harkened
back to a simpler kind of music that many had forgotten during a time when over-produced pop and rap
were so popular. It is also notable that Matt Slocum was the only musician on this album, providing
the backdrop for Leigh (Bingham) Nash's beautiful vocals which were a lot deeper and mellower at the
time, which actually suits a more laid back album like this. It has a very under-produced sound,
which really helps more than holds back the record. Overall, it's a very wonderful album by a band
that showed a lot of potential right from their humble beginnings.
