Beth Orton
By All Music Guide
Singer/songwriter Beth Orton combined the passionate beauty of the acoustic folk tradition with the electronic beats of rip-hop to create a fresh, distinct fusion of roots and rhythm. Born in Norwich, England in December 1970, Orton debuted as one half of the duo Spill, a one-off project with William Orbit which released a cover of John Martyns Dont Wanna Know About Evil. She continued working with Orbit on his 1993 LP Strange Cargo 3, co-writing and singing the track Water From a Vine Leaf before appearing with the group Red Snapper on their first singles Snapper and In Deep. In 1995 Orton teamed with the Chemical Brothers for Alive: Alone, the ultimate track on their Exit Planet Dust LP. After assembling a backing band comprised of double bassist Ali Friend, guitarist Ted Barnes, keyboardist Lee Spencer and drummer Wildcat Will, she finally issued her 1996 debut EP She Cries Your Name; her stunning full-length bow Trailer Park, produced in part by Andrew Weatherall, followed later in the year. In 1997, Orton released the superb Best Bit EP, a move towards a more organic, soulful sound highlighted by a pair of duets with folk-jazz legend Terry Callier; the full-length Central Reservation followed in 1999. Stolen Car was a moderate hit among college radio and tours across the U.S. were also successful. Three years later, Orton emerged refreshed with her third album Daybreaker. This time around, she collaborated with ex-Whiskeytown frontman Ryan Adams and the Chemical Brothers. In early 2006, Orton released her fourth album, Comfort of Strangers. The 14-song set was recorded in two weeks with producer Jim ORourke.
