This is my favorite album of all time.I fell in love with it when it was released twenty years ago, and I still listen to it several times a week. Each time I listen to it, I single out different instruments. Last night, it was the electric guitar. Other times, the acoustic guitar draws me in. And, of course, your voice is the best instrument of all! Every song is a beautiful work of art. Sometimes, I close my eyes and picture what it was like in that studio while it was being recorded. Your ‘On The Record’ stories make it much more easier to pretend I was there! Thank you for sharing these.

Truly enjoying the backstory to what we hear on the licks, Allison! Gives them more context and more ways for us to connect to them with that nuance we now have.

Any chance you read the story on Daily Om about what “we’re meant to be”? Thought of you right away while reading it and saved its wisdom for another future read. You and we are so fortunate you’re doing and sharing who it is you’re meant to be. It’s not all of you, of course, but some of us who do other kinds of work for a living are missing out on this except for free time or retirement! Soon. 😉

I would love to read an entire book of these!!! Love, love, love hearing your perspective on your songs from a bit of a distance and reading all the great stories about the writing and recording processes. It would be cool for you to interview other songwriter/artists about their songs, too. Imho 😄❤️
