  • Sibylle Baier is a German folk singer and actress whose musical abilities achieved belated recognition with the 2006 release of the album Colour Green, compiled from songs she had recorded in the early 1970s. Having played guitar and piano as a young girl, she was moved to write her first song, "Remember The Day", after taking a road trip with a friend across the Alps to Genoa, via Strasbourg. She appeared in Wim Wenders' 1973 film Alice in the Cities, and her music is also featured in Umarmungen und andere Sachen (1975) and in Wim Wenders' "Palermo Shooting" (2008) . Baier opted not to pursue an acting or singing career, and eventually moved to America where she concentrated on raising a family. The songs that went on to make up her album Colour Green were home reel-to-reel tape recordings Baier had made in Germany between 1970 and 1973. Some thirty years later her son Robby compiled a CD from these recordings to give to family members as presents. He also gave a copy to Dinosaur Jr's J Mascis, who in turn passed it along to the Orange Twin label. Orange Twin released the album in February 2006. She is expected to release a second studio album.
  • Sibylle Baier est une chanteuse américaine d’origine allemande. Elle enregistre au début des années 70 quatorze chansons que l’on retrouvera plus de trente ans plus tard sur l’album Colour Green sortie en 2006. C’est son fils qui en 2004 offre à sa mère ses chansons gravées sur un CD. Après avoir circulé le CD se retrouve chez un petit éditeur. Cette chanteuse à la voix douce avait préféré s’occuper de ses enfants plutôt que de lancer sa carrière. Peut être parce que le folk suscita un regain d’intérêt au milieu des années 2000, on pu observer que certains artistes des années 70 purent de nouveau être entendu, on peut citer Vashti Bunyan par exemple, dont l’histoire est un quelques points similaire. En 1973, elle fait une courte apparition dans Alice dans les villes de Wim Wenders. Elle vit aujourd’hui dans le Massachusetts.
