I WANNA GO HOME kicks off this album with a very touching song that will surely be able to relate to. I find it amazing she sounds a bit like Karen Carpenter and Lisa Loeb in her reflection of this song. A true gem. BLESSED BY THE WEST has great lyrics as the melody is laid back and her voice is bright and clear throughout the song. The beat is so cool as it's laid as all the pieces fit together great. WOW! Is all I can say.
I FLY OUR FLAG is a song we should all be able to relate to and hopefully things haven't changed since then. The lyrics are perfect as the melody and lyrics once again are really strong. Play this song for your neighbors. THE LIBRARIAN tells a story on its own as her story has us remembering the old times and about life in general during the rough days of growing up in the West. Epic song.
ROUGH STOCK is a very uptempo song that will have you kicking your boots up. The song even might give you a bit of a laugh. I love it, crank it up. WHITE DOG REVENGE is laid back a bit as she once again tells her story and the lyrics are spot on and the melody has a slow kind of groove. Check it out. DREAM AS BIG AS TEXAS sounds like a true country western song as her voice is so charming to hear as the band is tight on every note. I love it. Worth adding to your music collection. You can find her music at: You tube, Spotify, Pandora, Soundcloud, Deezer and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
