Rosetta Stone Pictures Presents
The Ballad of Minnie Dean
A music video featuring Helen Henderson and Her Band
New Zealand native and Los Angeles transplant Helen Henderson debuts her music video for her original song, "The Ballad of Minnie Dean," co-written with band member Doug Hamblin. Directed by Rose Bauer and produced by Rosetta Stone Pictures, the video captures the mood and spirit of the evocative myth of Minnie Dean, a New Zealander who was the only woman legally hanged in the country, for allegedly murdering children.
Helen Henderson and her band have released an independent, 5-song EP, The Sonora Sessions. A nominee for the 2000 Los Angeles Music Awards in the category of Best New Female Singer/Songwriter, Henderson has spent time as a songwriter in Nashville in addition to her tenure in Los Angeles. Her bluesy-rockin' tunes and performances have been compared to Lucinda Williams and Sheryl Crow.
Recorded in Los Angeles, The Sonora Sessions was produced by Helen Henderson, Doug Hamblin, Matt Downs and the Band, recording at Sonora Studios. The video was shot on 35mm in various Southern California locations found by Bauer that had a haunting resemblance to Helen's native New Zealand.
