Lady Audrey
Audrey Haller was born in El
Campo,Texas. She began singing at ana early age in church. Her
family formed a singing group that consisted of Audrey and her
brothers and sister that performed in area churches. When Audrey was
12 years old, the group began to travel al over Texas entertaining
audiences with their unique sound of Gospel. Audrey moved from Glen
Flora to El Campo,Texas and began to sing solo. She was singing
anything from Gospel to the Blues in karaoke bars. While performing
in the karaoke bars, she met C.J. and Paul Kearney, leaders of The
Superior Band. In 2001, Audrey became the lead female vocalist for
The Superior Band.
Continuing to learn the music
business from C.J. Kearney and The Superior Band, she began opening
shows for performers like B.B. King, Willie Clayton, Bobby Bland,
and Betty Wright from the east to the west coast. Audery and The
Superior Band have performed at many Blues Festivals from La Grange
to Dallas to Houston, Texas where she got great reviews. She
periodically returns close to her hometown to perform at The
Fairgrounds to a packed house. In 2003, Audery recorded her first CD
single, "Ready to Love You (Baby Come Back)" and "Whole Lotta
Woman". The CD "No House, No Home Without My Woman" was released as
The Superior Band.

**** I
felt the best song on a recent CD by Little Buck ("I'mma Bluesman")
wasn't by Mr. Buck but by Lady Audrey who provided a percolating
dancer called "Never Too Old To Get Your Groove On". It had hit
written all over it and really deserved an album of it's own...and
perhaps I'm a prophet for here it is! Surprisingly, it's not even
the top cut on this superbly produced set of upbeat party Soul, slow
jams and even a bonus Gospel triad.
Behind the scenes and
largely responsible for the success of the record are
writer/producers Rue Davis and Harrison Calloway who provide Audrey
with quality songs, real drums, plentiful bottom and even some real
horns (such as the sweet sax solo by "Ronnie" on "That Candy"). The
commercial potential is naturally the three irresistible booty
shakers- "Work Me 'Til I Sweat", the title cut and "Ride The
Saddle", plus the requisite dysfunctional relationship slowie ("You
Can Have Him Back")- but the highlight of the disc is the New
Orleans tribute "The Storm Is Over". A gorgeous, earnest vocal by
the Lady and a simple, sympathetic arrangement that manages to not
be maudlin despite the tragedy of which it refers. Besides it's
positive and uplifting. "The storm is over now...you can make it!".
Sweet. Two more inspirational jams follow that balance out the
record righteously.
