Ferrick's widely praised 2006 album, In the Eyes of Strangers, fulfilled the rock'n'roll essence from which she has long drawn inspiration. While touring, she returned to the studio to create this disc, perhaps her most intimate, stripped-down album to date. Laid down in a single day during her near-constant tour schedule, Goodbye Youth marks a departure from the music she wrote and arranged with a team of accomplished musicians in the past. The music still retains the pure Ferrick trademark, an endearing, emotionally honest first-person lyrical approach driven by her dynamic acoustic sound.
