SONGS OF L.A.

2024

 Rebecca Pidgeon’s fascination with filmmaking, both its beauty and its seamier exploitative side, takes center stage in her 11th full-length studio album Songs of L.A.  These songs, composed with long-time writing partner David Batteau, reimagine legendary figures like the pioneering female aviator Poncho Barnes, who flew stunts in Hell’s Angels and Betty Page, the 1950s pin-up girl who mysteriously disappeared at the height of her popularity. A collection of short story like songs with a noir edge, Songs of L.A. explores themes of glamour and damage in Hollywood. Though the subject matter can be dark, the sonic style is upbeat and art pop in feel.

PARTS OF SPEECH PIECES OF SOUND

2023

On her 10th album of distinct art-pop, the actress and storyteller Rebecca Pidegeon brings her multi-instrumentalist ways to songs that are in tune with the mindset of yoga, and embrace plenty of dreamy, hypnotic and elaborate textures.

SUDDEN EXPOSURE TO LIGHT 

(DOUBLE ALBUM)

2018

GRAMMY award nominated Rebecca Pidgeon journeys the depths of darkness to the wonders of enlightenment with two new studio albums. 

Sudden Exposure to Light produced by Thomas Bartlett and Comfort produced by Fernando Perdomo

BAD POETRY

2014

Rebecca Pidgeon’s album Bad Poetry veers decidedly into a harder, edgier sound—though not at all without the atmospheric beauty that has marked all her recordings.

“I wanted it to be more of a hardcore record,” says the British singer-songwriter. “I wanted to let my hair down and be more rock—more nasty in the sound instead of gentle. But I still wanted it to be beautiful.”

BLUE DRESS ON

2013

Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter and actress RebeccaPidgeon hits the streets October 8th with her Blue Dress On. The 13 track release, produced by Pidgeon and guitarist Tim Young will be her seventh studio recording and includes singles “Feathers”, “Sailors Marriage” and “Come Up to My Room”.

SLINGSHOT

2011

The deeply melodic Slingshot marks the third time Pidgeon and Grammy-winning producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Madeleine Peyroux, Herbie Hancock) have collaborated together. The two made an often intentionally quiet album that compellingly beckons the listener to lean in and pay attention. “There’s a simplicity and air and space to it,” she says. “That was a conscious decision.”

BEHIND THE VELVET CURTAIN

2008

Singer/songwriter and actress Rebecca Pidgeon favors the organic approach on Behind the Velvet Curtain, which was produced by Larry Klein in Los Angeles and includes four songs that were used in the movie Redbelt. Klein was obviously careful not to overproduce on this 2008 release; high-tech programming is rejected (except for a hidden track at the end), and Pidgeon's voice is surrounded by a combination of acoustic and electric instruments (mainly guitar, bass, and drums). Production-wise, less is clearly more throughout Behind the Velvet Curtain; Pidgeon favors a delicate, waifish vocal style, and Klein's stripped down production serves her well on gently reflective originals such as "That's Life, That's Hollywood," "Dawn," and "Long Island Poem." The only song on this frequently melancholy CD that Pidgeon didn't write or co-write is the Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice," which has no problem lending itself to an adult alternative/folk-pop makeover.

TOUGH ON CRIME

2005

Her fourth studio album, produced by Joni Mitchell helmer Larry Klein with an all-star lineup that includes veteran keyboard payer Billy Preston and Steely Dan’s Walter Becker, has a sophisticated feel that spans subtle electronica and contemporary jazz, typified by the restrained, smooth keyboards of “Magazines” and the Steely Dan-esque feel of “Ordinary Blues” and the title track. Pidgeon’s vocals, detached and coolly stylish, match her urbane lyrical observations.

FOUR MARYS

1998

With Johnny Cunningham (Silly Wizard) on fiddle and Jerry O’Sullivan on uillean pipes, Pidgeon explores her Scottish heritage with the musical storybook, The Four Marys.

THE NEW YORK GIRLS CLUB

1996

The New York Girls’ Club is comprised of twelve tracks that illustrate the range of Rebecca Pidgeon’s talent. While a flurry of guest musicians contribute piano, organ, saxophone, synthesizer, guitar, bass and drums, Pidgeon is credited with lead vocals, vocal arrangements as well as guitar. Songs range from light acoustic folky numbers to moderate rock tracks.

THE RAVEN

1994

The Raven is a lovely and vocally intense album that explores the dimensions of Rebecca Pidgeon’s voice against a light acoustic environment. Under Joel Diamond's masterful production and musical arrangements, it includes her famous cover of  Spanish Harlem beloved by the audiophile community. 

DOWN FROM ABOVE- RUBY BLUE

1990

Recorded in London with a major budget and the use of additional musicians such as Steve Wickham from the Waterboys on fiddle, and Steve Ferrera on drums, who had been playing Suzanne Vega. Gavyn Wright joins with string arrangements. This album is a rarity now, as the original members of Ruby Blue split after this recording. It is much loved by core and loyal Ruby Blue fans. 

GLANCES ASKANCES - RUBY BLUE

1987

First album release from Ruby Blue, “Glances Askances,” which was recorded on a shoestring budget in London. Tracks from the debut achieved playlisting and daytime play on Radio 1. There followed three further singles (“Because,” “Bloomsbury Blue” and “Stand Together”) on the Red Flame label. The duo were joined by Erika Woods (a friend of Rebecca’s from RADA) on harmony vocals and Anthony Coote on bass guitar. Following some favourable reviews, radio play and an Indie chart placing with their single “Stand Together,” Rebecca and Roger were signed to a major label deal, the Polygram imprint Fontana. This album is now a very rare find.
