Audio: Music Journalist Sylvie Simmons Goes Public With 1st Track Off Debut Album

So it turns out the music journalist Sylvie Simmons, best known for her superb Leonard Cohen biography, “I’m Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen,” has been a closet singer/songwriter since she was a kid.

Well that’s over now.

Her debut album, Sylvie, will be released by Light In The Attic on October 28, 2014.

The album was produced by Howe Gelb and recorded at Wavelab Studio in Tucson. Sylvie sings, and plays ukulele. Backing Sylvie are Thoger on upright bass and Howe, Gelb on guitar, synthesizers and piano.

While waiting for the album, hear this lovely first song, “You Are In My Arms.”

[I just published my rock ‘n’ roll novel, True Love Scars.” There’s info about it here.]
