Rachels voice was first heard all over Europe when she was singer and main songwriter of Bliss, the british pop band that scored two massive pan-european hits with ÈI Hear You Call My NameÇ and ÈThe Morning AfterÇ (both composed by Rachel). When the rest of the band wanted to turn the groups into a kind of dancefloor outfit, Rachel left Bliss (which, un-surprisingly sank into oblivion soon after!). She married and in 1993 followed her husband Tommy to his home country Germany, where she has since build up a new career.
Her first solo album ÈLive At PhoenixÇ, recorded during an intimate club-gig, shows Rachel true to her folk and classic-soul roots. Wisely Rachel decided against all gimmickry in terms of orchestration, so what we get here is just Tommy's competent guitar and Rachels unbelievable voice, rendering captivating performances of originals such as ÈI Hear You Call My NameÇ as well as breathtakingly powerful cover-versions (namely of Aretha Franklin's ÈYou Make Me Feel Like A Natural WomanÇ). A real turn of for every lover of timeless, natural, handmade music with a bluesy feeling.
