Patrice Pike makes an interesting point about artistic creation. Whereas a critic can explain the arrangements of a particular song, its lyrics, and the tone of the vocalist's voice, he or she can't really explain the creative magic that makes it all work. Music, like religion, remains part mystery. A critic, nonetheless, can hopefully recognize the real thing when he or she sees it, and Fencing Under Fire qualifies. Pike, formerly of Sister 7, is joined by the Blackbox Rebellion, consisting of guitarist Wayne Sutton, drummer Michael Hale, bassist Danny Jesus Belltran, and percussionist John Bush. "Dominique" serves as a tuneful opener, but the funky "Jackknife Girl" and Stones-styled "Ms. Ramona" dig a bit deeper. While Pike's vocals work well on the lighter, melodic material, she really comes into her own on rockers like "Ms. Ramona" and "All My Love." When she delivers a line like, "Sun's going down/You're nowhere to be found/You're wasting all my love," the listener feels the emotional impact. She also cuts loose on "Angels," requesting divine assistance in the form of a rock & roll prayer. There are also a number of gentler, kinder tunes, like "The Wreckage" and "Sweet November," filled with great hooks, acoustic guitar, and animated percussion. The no-nonsense arrangements adjust to the needs of each song and provide plenty of cushion for Pike's powerful voice. Fun and catchy, Fencing Under Fire will please anyone who enjoys great vocals, a little bit of rock guitar, and smart songwriting. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr. Many people have come to know Patrice Pike from her years as lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the popular Austin band 'Sister Seven'. Patrice and Sister Seven toured the United States and Western Europe in support of three independent releases and three major label albums. From Sister Seven's jam-band beginnings to their Billboard-charting radio singles, they headlined clubs and supported massive shed tours. Chris Riemenschneider of the Austin American Statesman sums up the band's multifaceted success; "Back when it was still Little Sister, Sister Seven epitomized the Austin jam-band phenomenon. Eventually though, the quartet sharpened its songwriting and recording style and became that rare local band that could pack the clubs on weekends and go out and earn national radio play the rest of the week. In recent years - when we've had live local favorites like Vallejo and Bob Schneider's various groups on one end, and radio bands such as Fastball, Dexter Freebish, and Dynamite Hack on the other - they were the only real instance of those twains ever meeting." Over those years Patrice Pike performed onstage with the likes of Dave Matthews, Sarah McLachlan, and Natalie Merchant, to name a few. The disbanding of Sister Seven and the release of her first indie solo effort has established Patrice Pike as one of the best ...
