Originally going to be titled Songs From a Goat Path and then In the Mean Time!  We are more than thrilled that this is finally a reality – we’ve been waiting for an all-new recording from one of Women’s Music’s Most Talented for oh, about a decade now! ‘I don’t know what it’s like for you but here’s what it’s like for me… I wanted to turn beautiful and serve Eternity and never follow money or love with greasy hands, or move the earth and waters just to make it fit my plans.’ Those lyrics are from a long-ago Ferron song on a different album… she has done it with her new release! What you may be most struck with, as you listen, is the underlying sense of arrival, resolution, reconciliation and peace, from which her poetry now springs, perhaps summed up in the following lines from this new recording: Hello my friends, I feel so happy to be back To feel so clear and on the track, but it’s more than that.. It’s so much more than that.  Review by Ladyslipper
