I really love his work, and his band is as good as it gets. I have a feeling it’s really going to be a lot of fun musically. And this will be the first all original full band studio recording I’ve done in 11 years, since “Honestly”, so I’m definitely due! I’m putting everything I got into this one – the whole of my heart and spirit. I think I’m a different singer than I was on “Honestly”. I think I’ve grown as a vocalist and a songwriter… Duke seems to like the batch of tunes I sent him and that’s a great place to start! I’m feeling real good about the record.” Stay tuned for more information
