专辑简介

This is a beautifully crafted collection of songs from a unique, distinctive, gifted voice that is Vicki Vann. Her voice is that of a sweet and sultry, lush, gorgeous, string-laden setting, modern country- pop singer that resonates strongly with deep, rich tones throughout the big-band echoes here. The professional production is sleek and slick with musicality that only seasoned professionals could attempt. The album has sounds that combine traditional country and contemporary pop that come together uniquely presenting every listener with a sound that's unique and all her own. It's easy to conclude that Vicki Vann had many musical influences in her life while honing her craft because you can easily hear them throughout this 13-track passionate collection: It's country music with a traditional, vintage, throw-back feel to contemporary top 40, with emotion, honesty, diversity, freshness, and inspiration, beginning with the title track "Reckless Heart". There is the piano-laden "Heartless", which possess much of the same beautiful, throw-back qualities with a sassier edge. Vicki's emotive vocals prove masterful and angelic on the acoustic "I Won't Settle For Less Than You". Those listening to these tracks will have the opportunity to instantly fall in love with Vicki's voice, AND stunning, movie star, drop-dead gorgeous looks! On the track "This Is Where I Get Off" her voice waltzes along effortlessly in a fashion similar to Lee Ann Womack and the legend Dolly Parton also comes to mind. On "Home" she whisks you along with her with a feeling of a honey-coated wind that makes your heart think pleasant, nostalgic thoughts about wherever home is, for the listener. The lyrical flow of "In The Shadows Of My Steeple" reaffirms Vicki's own value system and her fascination with beautiful, antique churches and the symbolic references to faith, forgiveness, love, acceptance, growth, strength, beauty, and pride along with precious memories of days gone by with just the simple passage of time. "Chains" is gripping, sometimes haunting, but always deep and rich in tone, and especially on "When You're Comin' Down", and "White Lies and Picket Fences". "While You Were Gone", "A Far Cry From You", and "Is It Okay To Cry Now" plead to the listener in true country song fashion. Once you've heard all these delectable songs from Vicki, all you can do is acquire as much of her music as possible.
