Sandra McCracken's songwriting on her second
independent release is a natural movement toward the sounds
and stories of
Americana music. The record is driven by
Sandra's stirring vocals and acoustic guitar sounds as it
flows gracefully from song
to song, framing the bittersweet lyrics of
family and nostalgia. The album was produced with the same
musicians
throughout, and recorded as a band so as to
capture the charms and imperfections of a live performance.
It maintains the
accessibility of honest folk music, while
combining the textures of bluegrass and country rock. From
Garret Buell's ambient
percussion on the title track, to the wails
of Bucky Baxter's pedal steel on "Steel & Magic," this
record may be hard to
categorize for the record shelves, but it's
effortless for the ears.
