Search - Charly :: Heart's Desire

HEART's DESIRE, Charly's debut release, is comprised of 12 songs, all written by Charly. The master sessions were recorded at RIFKIN PRODUCTIONS in Santa Monica, CA. Mastering was done at MASTERFONICS in Nashville, TN. The songs are primarily upbeat and have a refreshing diversity from one song to the next. Styles range from the bluegrass-with-a-modern-edge title cut, "Heart's Desire"; to the bluesy, R&B flavored ballad, "Since You Went Away". "Dancin' Tonight" is western swing and "Turnip Truck" is alternative country laced with a hip-hop groove. Country rockers and a dash of pop round out this collection of New Country songs. The lyrical content ranges from provocative topics such as drugs ("Society Owes Her a Living"), domestic violence ("One Fine Day"), and the plight of the single parent ("Single Parent Home"). But it's not all serious! On the lighter side is a story song about divorce ("Ain't Askin' for Much"), a ditty about shopping ("Shop Til You Drop") and a call to dancers and honky tonkers to come "Dancin' Tonight".
