ARTIST BIOS
Mimi Paturel has been singing and recording songs on her tape machine since she was 5. She made a demo with singer/songwriter Jules Shear and producer Stephen Hague at 16.

Story behind the song:
"All the Pretty Little Horses" was originally written by a slave who was unable to care for her baby because she was forced to care for her master's child. Supposedly she would sing this song to her master's child. Over the decades, artists such as Peter, Paul & Mary, Odetta, Joan Baez, and Nick Cave covered this song, some omitting the gruesome lyrics in the second verse, some not.
