Minton Sparks - This Dress

Nobody strikes the very core of rural southern women like Nashville performance poet, Minton Sparks. Sparks brand new CD, This Dress, wears perfectly. The wildly original spoken word artist pens and performs deep, dark poetry collaborations that may literally curl your hair, and shock your shoes off. Each piece casting a Southern spell over listeners; they arrive square in the middle of an unforgettable people and place!

Sparks collaborates with the best in the business. Grammy winner, Keb Mo', lends his unmistakable chops on Ambulance Chasers, where a young girl stumbles upon 'the first dead body I ever saw, stinking fish-white beneath a sheet.' Irish singer/songwriter Maura O'Connell haunting voice threads the needle for This Dress behind Sorrow Knows This Dress. and Put Her To Rest. Producer, Steve Conn, creates conversations with his powerful piano chops.
