About Us:
She’s been recording albums for more
than 20 years, but Rebecca Pidgeon had
a creative breakthrough as she began
working on the music for “Slingshot,”
her compelling sixth solo effort.
Pidgeon wrote 35 songs for
“Slingshot,” more than she has ever
written for an album before. Working
primarily with Klein and David Batteau
on the “kernel of the record,”
Pidgeon also wrote with Timothy Bracy
and acclaimed singer/songwriter,
Freedy Johnston including the
deceptively jaunty, upbeat “I Love No
One.” “I loved writing with Freedy,”
she says. “We [both] tend to like
stories about being rather bleak. It
seems more interesting.”
“Slingshot” includes a co-production
between Pidgeon and her husband,
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright/film
director David Mamet. The aching,
largely a cappella “Baby Please Come
Home” showcases Pidgeon’s vulnerable,
intimate vocals. “It’s a humbling
experience writing with my husband”,
she said, “But he’s good looking so I
subject myself to it”.
