Search - Buffy Ford Stewart :: Same Old Heart

Guest vocalists:- Davy Jones (thought to be his last ever recording before his passing on 29th Feb. 2012). Timothy B Schmit (The Eagles), Rosanne Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Craig Caffall, Dan Hicks, Eliza Gilkyson, Bill Mumy, Peter Tork, Nanci Griffith, Maura and Pete Kennedy, Chuck McDermott and Shana Morrison. Her name is Buffy Ford-Stewart, the widow of The Kingston Trio original group member John Stewart. He called her Angel Rain. For John Stewart, who died in San Diego in 2008, she was the muse for one of the great American singer-songwriters of the last 50 years. Without her, he may never have written the body of work ranging from "Daydream Believer," "Mother Country," and "California Bloodlines" to the latter day "Jasmine." As one of the founders of Americana music, she inspired John's lyrical, authentic, poetic, and visionary body of work. She was his all-time woman, the one who believed in him, the keeper of the flame lit by the treasury of songs authored by poet, artist, writer, dreamer, storyteller, and magic man. Today, she follows a road of her own, a highway she once traveled with John. But, she does not walk it alone. A legion of John Stewart fans or Bloodliners, her close friends and family walk with her. And, as always, John's spirit is just a dream away. He came to her in a flock of birds in the days following his passing. He still speaks through her in stories and in the very timbre of her voice. She is a cancer survivor who has walked the borderline between life and death. She is still a daydream believer, still a homecoming queen, still the girl swept away by the lonesome troubadour of her youth. After many hit albums, Buffy is back with more powerful vocals than ever before in her newest CD, "Same Old Heart." She rides high in her rhythm and gives astonishing takes on classics. This album speaks volumes with the tone of her career. She weaves magic into every song, and leaves you with a great feeling after hearing each take that she demands.
