Baby Dee (born 1953) is best known in New York as the badly angelic, Shirley Temple obsessed, high riding cat that ruled the streets of lower Manhattan in the nineties. Her quest for adventure and little fishies led her to become the bilateral hermaphrodite of The Coney Island Side Show and The Kamikaze Freak Show in Europe.
Michael Musto calls her “a fabulous accordionist” and “ingenious harpist”. Time Out calls her “the nightclub sensation”. The LA Times calls her “hilariously bawdy”.
She now lives in seclusion, having taken vows as a novitiate of the Little Sisters of Crabby Doom (a Cleveland based order dedicated to the care of smelly old men).
She has worked with Marc Almond, Will Oldham, Andrew W.K., Robbie Lee, Max Moston (Antony and the Johnsons), Bill Breeze (Psychic TV), John Contreras (Current 93), James Lo (Chavez), and Lia Kessel. She has also toured extensively with Current 93, playing piano and harp.

inside peace freely gift to auditors, he has an incomparable generous soul, and all these melodies are resting, alleviating, and dulcifying like the consistent delicacy of his (interior) voice... enjoy and relax - world ain't so bad after all.

This is music made for gentle, restless souls: definitely NOT for everyone. But Little Window is really an amazing, heart-breaking album.

I can't find any of her other albums in stores, I've managed to obtain Safe Inside the Day but that's it. What an enchanting voice, strange woman but I love it. Can anyone point me in the direction of more of her albums?

Sorry, I couldn't stand the album. The first album I've prematurely ended. Just really dislike the sound. :(

Jordan_C_Darwin wrote:
I'm listening to the album, but I am so far unimpressed. Quite boring composition, poor lyrics and extremely over-dramatised vocals at times which just don't cut it. Let's hope the other 8 songs are better.

But The Robin's Tiny Throat IS Love's Small Song, Little Window and the Made For Love EP! You're not missing out on a lot of what's been released.

If only I was able to track down her records... I have only gotten my hands on The Robin's Tiny Throat and Safe Inside The Day. So many songs I've never heard...

Congratulations, chickenmcnoodle! And also congratulations Baby Dee on the success (apparent) of Safe Inside The Day! She's featured in at least three magazines I've come across this month - and that's just in Germany!

Wow. I was just asked to play with a band opening for her next Tuesday. Wow.

I saw her live in Kortrijk, Belgium! She was so funny. Burns her own cds and that's the only way you can get them I think. Haunting persona.
