This 2013 collection of fourteen originals includes everything from the title cut - a poignant pop/folk song about body image - to 'Run,' a country song of advice written with the help of her Facebook friends. 'Mamaw's Roses' is a tender folk ballad about her grandma and 'Black and White' is a thoughtful jazz number about growing older. 'The Lucky Ones' was inspired by an overheard conversation that broke her heart. There's a great polyrhythmic groove in 'Bellydancer' and in 'Menopause Mambo,' she gives you excellent reasons to send her chocolate.
Musicians include Free Planet Radio (Chris Rosser, River Guerguerian and Eloit Wapodian) on percussion, bass and piano; their collective credits include the Paul Winter Consort and gigs at Carnegie Hall. Also featured are talented multi-instrumentalist Kara Barnard (Ferron, Tret Fure), and backing vocalist Tory Trujillo (Laura Love). Jamie played guitar, ukulele and mandolin.
