“I’ve been sitting on these songs for almost four years. In the two music cities I love the most- Nashville and Asbury Park…hence yet another hybrid, Nashbury Park! I wanted to work hard, get my material strong and honed and make the best record I could. Hence, that’s why I call myself a Nash Yorker - a hybrid. I knew I had to take the leap and go to finishing school - that’s how I look at these years in Nashville. “Some thought my move to Nashville in 2013 was ‘risky’ and me saying goodbye to NYC and Asbury forever… well, you can never leave something that’s such a big part of your soul… forever. When I asked Bebe about her move to Nashville, the Jersey Shore connection and the inspiration for this latest record she had this to say to me.

Produced by Jimmy “Walls” Wallerstein (Das Damen, Wonderland) the record was mixed by Bob Pantella and Jim Wallerstein. Part of the record was recorded at Sound Emporium and Seven Deadly Sins Studio in Nashville, and part of it was recorded at Freak Shop Studios in Keyport, NJ. The new record is a conglomerate of the better of two different environments. She has spent the last several years honing her performance at various Nashville hotspots such as The Bluebird Café and The Mercy Lounge, as well as writing and composing music that would eventually become part of her latest record, Baring It All: Greetings from Nashbury Park. She maintains that her compositional style is a combination of their current Nashville homestead and the eastern home turf that she spent years in. She says it’s like she must have lived there in another life. Buell has always claimed her stake in the Asbury area going back as far as early 1973, when she was here with Todd Rundgren.

But they never forgot their connection to the Jersey Shore and the greater New York area. The record was a return to basic rock ‘n’ roll form and featured the hit single “Sugar.” Buell toured the East Coast behind this record, playing many of the clubs made famous in the early days of rock and featuring many local rock players that are world renowned.īuell took part in a tribute to Eddie Arnold in 2012 and after that trip Buell, and husband Jimmy Walls, decided to move to Nashville for their next jaunt on the Buell musical odyssey. In 2009 she released her first recording in 10 years with a single “Air Kisses for the Masses” in May of that year, and completed recording of a full-length 12-song album, set for late Fall 2009.īuell’s next release, Hard Love, was a full-length produced by husband/guitarist Jim Wallerstein, and Steven DeAcutis, in 2011. Fleming is also well-known for his production and performance work with artists such as Nancy Sinatra, Joan Jett, Screaming Trees and many others. Now that’s a debut! Bands such as the B-Sides and The Gargoyles were Buell’s musical vehicles before eventually heading out under her own under her own name.Īnd while Buell took time off in the early nineties to raise her daughter, actress Liv Tyler, once Liv was off and running, Bebe resumed her musical career with a disc produced by Don Fleming around 2000. As for her recording career, Buell first started back in 1981 and Rick Derringer produced her four-song EP - that also featured members of The Cars.

They discuss her notoriety for dating famous rock stars and being Liv Tyler’s mother, but most conventional publications skip the deep history of Buell’s musical career unless they are reminded.īebe Buell has been writing and performing since she was old enough to walk. Most of what the mainstream media discusses about Bebe Buell is sensationalist and shallow.
