MJ Bishop, give it away again
self released

As a child of many musical influences, including classic country, rock and a cappella singing evenings, different nuances emerge at different times, giving each song a unique sound in an overall enjoyable and diverse album.
My favorites: 5, 7, 9, 10, 11**
1. 4:10 med – gentle, uplifting song
2. 3:04 med – true fusion of influences, from BG fiddle to playful singling
3. 3:32 slow/med – country sound to match MJ’s gentle lyrics
4. 4:36 slow – a country lullaby
5. 4:03 med – unique sounds (perhaps the Hammond 3?), nice violin too**
6. 4:00 med - slow paced country rock, vocally dominant
7. 3:15 slow – beautiful gentle song showcasing vocal depth
8. 3:55 med – country sound with playful, yet mournful lyrics
9. 4:17 slow – gentle ballad, mandolin accents
10 3:55 . slow/med – honky tonk lyrics with only a slight country feel
11. 2:43 slow – WOW! Totally unique smoky blues cabaret feel
12. 2:54 slow – dreamy sounding song about dream of consciousness
13. 3:49 med – upbeat song with a decided bluegrass influence
