"Disintegration Man" Strikes a Chord With The Left & The Right
Rebecca Pidgeon's new single
Called A True "WHO is IT song?"
NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Rebecca Pidgeon's new single "Disintegration Man" has struck a chord with both the left & the right. Asking "Where is the Dude who can do it for us?" The song, with corresponding video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_meXHRRJS8 has taken on a whole new meeting in America's current volatile political climate, and has received thousands of youtube hits this weekend spurred by a Huffington Post nod as a song that perfectly captures America's "topical zeitgeist" right now.
The video came about after Rebecca performed the song at Farm Aid this summer and met up with a couple of Kansas filmmakers who were inspired by the mystery of "Disintegration Man." They thought it summed up this country's current state of confusion and were curious to know who she was talking about in the song.
"That," says Rebecca with a smile, "is exactly what the song is about-how we have to stop looking for a 'superman' to solve our problems, stop blaming the other guy's superman for not solving our problems, and just get on with it."
The rootsy blues driving "Disintegration Man" is one of the songs from Rebecca's new album entitled Slingshot to be released on November 15. Recorded with Grammy Award winning producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Madeleine Peyroux, Herbie Hancock) the deeply melodic Slingshot features 12 songs including the hooky single "Get Up Get Out," a poignant version of Warren Zevon's "Searching For A Heart," the semi-autobiographical "I Loved No One," and the country tinged ballad written by Pidgeon and her husband, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright/film director David Mamet, entitled "Baby Please Come Home Again."
Pidgeon has shared the stage with Aimee Mann, Madeleine Peyroux, Jeffrey Gaines, Peter Himmelman, Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews and Neil Young, just to name a few. She recently performed at the Hampton's Film Festival, completed a string of sold out dates with Keb Mo, and is finishing up a headlining run on the Wine, Women & Song (WWS) Tour, a series of concerts coordinated by an all-women wine company Women of the Vine.
Pidgeon will be appearing November 5 at Live In the Vineyardhttp://liveinthevineyard.com with Daughtry, Christina Perry, Patrick Stump and Safety Suit.
