"I can't seem to get no rest from love, so far!" This is the first line from the first song on my new release Great Big Yellow Sunflower.  In the beginning, it was a sad old dirge, then somehow, it flipped itself into a peppy Motown-ish offering!  Whew! Thank Goodness, the Muse has its way with me.

I do think you'll love it as I do.

These songs widely range from folk-rock ballads that drive through West Texas in cars keeping time with trains to a more Americana feel as they strum and drum their way up to the high mesa and mountain big skies of northern New Mexico. The songs keep on going from there and eventually pass through some bigger shinier town where we move and groove through jazzier numbers till finally an  acoustic guitar plays in time with the salty waves where a piano is also waiting for an even softer number.

​

In the end, a little cabaret love song for the world. 

As for what the songs are talking about, well, stories that continue to discover and reinforce faith in humanity and self - even in cases of loss, presumed failure, and cultural differences.
