“My brother and I have lived in Michigan for our entire lives, and a lifetime’s worth of summers spent on the Great Lakes and Michigan’s in-land lakes and rivers have certainly influenced our music. We see that Michigan’s water currently faces many threats, including privatization of our water supply and contamination by industrial pollutants, bacteria, and invasive species. We decided to do our part to help by raising money for organizations that fight to protect Michigan’s waters.”
–Amy Bennett, singer/bass player, and lyricist of The White Ravens.
Inspired by the mysterious quality of the underwater world, Saddle up the Whales has a watery theme; whales, manatees, bathyspheres, eels (and more whales) all make appearances. In this latest batch of songs, the sea serves as the backdrop for a multitude of scenarios, ranging from the absurd (saddling up and riding marine life), to the strange (mechanical whales), to the creepy (a descent into the deep sea in a bathysphere).
