Search - Kathryn Priestley :: Travel On

The long awaited new release from singer-songwriter Kathryn Priestley, "Travel On" is a refreshing addition to today's music scene. Priestley's lyrics are thought-provoking, her music is creative & expressive and the combination is an incredible new sound that captures the heart and inspires the soul. Travel On is Priestley?s first collaboration with veteran producer, David Vartanian, who has worked with such notables as Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads), Violent Femmes, Crash Test Dummies, and Claudia Schmidt. Together with Patrick Hall, who worked with Priestley on previous releases, the three created the richest instrumentation yet of Priestley?s music. Like the journey of life itself, Travel On demonstrates Priestley?s maturing musical styles through folk, rock, pop, even new age, adding unique ethnic flavors along the way. "The entire process of recording this album was a joy" says Priestley. "We wanted to capture that first pure moment of writing a song by adding the right instruments, vocals, and arrangements." From the ethereal Shadowzone, through the exuberant Summertime, to the simple, straightforward folk sound of Ten Years Later, Priestley demonstrates the breadth of her songwriting craft. Priestley adds, "I feel the music in every song evokes the same feeling I've tried to convey in the lyrics. Recording this album has been the pinnacle of years of songwriting and performing. It's my truth." Travel On is for anyone who loves the great acoustic music from the 60's and 70's and the timeless work of Joni Mitchell, Crosby, Stills & Nash or James Taylor. If you enjoy such contemporary artists as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin, or Jonatha Brooke, you will definitely be adding Kathryn Priestley to your list of favorites.
