The songs on this album contain soulful lyrics of the heart from the heartland written by Elizabeth Petty and performed by award winning country rock artist Beth Kille and a band of awesome talented musicians. The lyrics address a wide variety of topics from universal themes of love and loss to broader issues of disparity and diversity. Kille's beautifully clear, dynamic, and lyrical vocals tug at your heart in ballads like Moments, New Chapters, and Lullaby for Luisa; evoke a rich smooth emotional jazz feel in Scrapes and Bruises; ignite energetic passion in the rock numbers such as Authenticity, Break Free, Without You and Black Ice; encourage you to clap and sing along in Songs In Our Heads; and create a true sense intimacy in songs like Deep End, Old Shoes, Bones of Baltimore, and Ring True To Me. The music successfully transcends traditional genres definitions with a blend of folk, rock, country, and jazz flavors inspired by the talented musical collaborators from around the world that bring the lyrics to life. The expertly played acoustic guitars, electric guitars, bass, strings, keyboard, harmonica, and percussion instruments create music that stirs you, moves you, and stays with you. Check out the amazing electric guitar riffs by John on Black Ice; the hauntingly beautiful violin played by Rin on Moments and Bones of Baltimore; the soulful harmonica of Len on Old Shoes; Dan's great electric guitar work on Authenticity, Break Free, and Ring True to Me; the keyboard magic of Shawndell on multiple songs including New Chapters and Songs in Our Heads; Lori's beautiful piano playing and composition on Lullaby for Luisa that sings above the heartbeat of Tony's cajon beat; the expert guitar work of Beth that drives the music on multiple tracks; Henrieta's expert bass that provides a rich core foundation for the songs and a totally cool funky sound in Break Free; and the awesome percussion of James that captures the rhythmic mood of each song so perfectly moving from syncopated tom beats to crisp rim shots and swelling cymbals.
