Soul Blues & Ballads

Thank God for the blues!

I dedicate this Soul Blues & Ballads CD to the life of the great blues women that have influenced my writing and singing: Koko Taylor,Katie Webster, and Ruth Brown. I have always been inspired by their strong, sassy, often tortured,storytelling blues. These women paved the way for me to open up and write about my heartaches and expose my woundedness. They created safe passage for me to reveal myself. This CD is about relationships that have deeply affected my life and my heart. Now, when I write about my love life, I allow myself to be vulnerable, to share and to even purge my feelings. That way, I am reaching in to a deeper self–a deeper soul. As life would have it,I have moved far from those realities.

Historically, my core issues have been abouttrust, betrayal, abandonment, and deception. Iremember singing “blues is a healer!” in “TheWalking Wounded”. Soul Blues & Balladsis full of jewels and compositions born out of mypersonal love life experiences. These songs haveoffered me solace and an outlet for expressing mypain. They have been carefully tucked betweenup-tempo, high energy, rock n’ Chicago styleblues songs on eight (8) different CDs. They spanalmost two decades of expressing my love, mylessons, and my losses. I have had to let go and liveon. It’s been healing to sing my blues!
