Tresa Leigh, “Until Then” [Lyndell Records, 1970]

Newly available on a four-song career anthology from Efficient Space.

[bandcampsnoop]

4/7/23.

We first posted about the label Efficient Space (Melbourne, Australia) last fall. The label seems to specialize in reissues and they've done just that with this gem from Tresa Leigh (she appeared on last year's excellent Ghost Riders compilation). Leigh was a Georgia teenager back in the 1970s who was determined to record.

These four songs clearly show a talent beyond her years. Listen to that voice and melodies. These are songs that would fit nicely alongside the work of Weyes Blood and Lana Del Rey.

The Bandcamp write-up compares Tresa Leigh to three artists I'd never heard of: Nora Guthrie (daughter of Woody...sister of Arlo), Bonnie Dobson and Patti Whipp.
