The ten-song disc, the first released on Piper's own Sugar
Daddy Records imprint, is a lively potpourri of sounds. "All the
original songs on the album were written since I moved to the US about a
year ago", states the Australian expatriate now residing in Cocoa,
Florida. More Guitars Than Friends was recorded, mixed, and
mastered at Solar Studio (using exclusively solar power) in Orlando,
FL.
"MORE GUITARS THAN FRIENDS": MEDIA QUOTES
"The appeal of Piper’s music is not hard to find. Her
voice has a quality and attitude about it that exudes fun, something that
overflows on album spotlight track “Paper
Bag.” AXS.COM
"More Guitars Than Friends from Anni Piper may be her
best effort to date. Piper shows once again that she has the pipes for
the lead
vocalist".
BMANS BLUES REPORT
"Piper is a good songwriter...sensual vocals are
combined with Dave Kury’s rockin guitar. Anni Piper is difficult to
categorize but one thing is clear: She's a great
entertainer." MAKING A SCENE
"This collection of tracks features tongue in cheek
lyrics, a couple heartfelt blues tracks, and some cool rock-a-billy.
“Just A Little Bit” is another lyrical masterpiece that demonstrates how
well Piper can take her music seriously without forgetting to add a little
fun to music."
Anni Piper - often referred to as
"Australia's First Lady of the Blues" - blends deep, sexy
vocals with a high-energy bass playing style (often barefoot), making for
a thoroughly enjoyable live experience. Anni first started playing
electric guitar at age twelve, but switched to bass two years
later. In 2004 Piper released Jailbait, which earned her
"Best New Talent"at the 2005 Australian Blues Music Awards.
Subsequent album releases include 2007's Texas Hold 'Em, 2009's Two's
Company (which reached #1 on the Australian Roots music chart and #21
on the Living Blues chart), 2010's Chasin' Tail (released by Blues
Leaf Records), and 2013's Split Second, a duet effort with Nicole
Hart.
