When the single "Kiss Me" was featured on the soundtrack for 1999's NEVER BEEN KISSED and reached the Top 10, many assumed that Sixpence None the Richer was a new band. The Nashville-based group, formed in New Braunfels, Texas in the early '90s by the husband and wife team of singer Leigh Bingham and multi-instrumentalist songwriter Dale Baker, was in fact four albums old at that point. The band took its name from a religious parable by C.S. Lewis.
Sixpence None the Richer's Christian themes are at their most overt on 1994's debut THE FATHERLESS AND THE WIDOW. Bingham and Baker's lyrics examine issues of faith through allegory (the title track, "Field of Flowers") and with plainspoken directness ("An Apology," "Soul"). The album isn't as slick as later releases, and the slightly more rough-hewn chamber-folk musical settings suit Bingham's bell-toned voice beautifully.
