This is one hot album that will make you cry, chase down your husband’s girlfriend, be thankful for all the blessings you have been given, appreciate where you are in your life and what it has taken you to get here, AND celebrate the recovery of a very special little town in Arizona. Blazing Honor – a tribute to the 19 wild fire hotshots who paid the supreme sacrifice and Yarnell Rising – a rockin’ celebratory song about the recovery and re-building of Yarnell are the obvious favorites if you have been through the Yarnell Hill Fire. I think the funniest lyrics off this album, though, come from “The Other Girl.” Mules kickin at my stall; dogs barkin up my tree – classic. Denise, you have a voice for the blues; lets have more.
I am going to have to forward your comment as a press release review! I LOVED reading that. My son just gave me a synopsis of the album that was very similar. He said that the CD encourages emotional outlet…which is much needed in Yarnell. “The Other Girl” was meant to be a humorous and twisted song! So, I’m glad you heard it that way. At the most recent ground breaking ceremony, Sept. 30th, one of the homeowners made the most wonderful statement: “Yarnell is SO WORTH rebuilding.” We are celebrating so much more than homes, and businesses, and lives spared. We are celebrating a community who sticks together no matter what. And we are celebrating that we DISCOVERED that we really can do it. Thanks for the glowing review, Leah!
