CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description Susan first entered the pop-culture spotlight at the age of eight, as the youngest member of the 60s musical family The Cowsills. In adulthood, as a member of the alt-pop supergroup the Continental Drifters, she reemerged as a vocalist and songwriter of remarkable depth and insight. Cowsill's new songs reflect the hard-won lessons of her recent experiences, reflected in the grit of such emotionally vivid originals as Avenue of the Indians, which features guest vocals by admirer Jackson Browne. Lighthouse includes an impassioned reading of the late Barry Cowsill's River of Love, with soaring harmonies by Susan's brothers Bob, Paul and John Cowsill, as well as sister-in-law (and Bangles/Continental Drifters member) Vicki Peterson, and guitarist Waddy Wachtel, who began his career playing with The Cowsills in the 1960s. Another highlight is a stripped-down reworking of the Glen Campbell/Jimmy Webb classic Galveston, demonstrating Susan's status as a peerless interpretive singer. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSusan Cowsill Brings Optimism to the Gulf Daytona Beach Music | 07/11/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Susan Cowsill and her musical husband Russ Broussard live in Louisiana and went through Katrina losses and the loss of 2 of the Cowsills in recent years. This CD brings more hope than melancholy tones and is very refreshing with repeated playing. This is the perfect offset to the present gulf oil crisis. The instrumentation is great with guitars, violin, cello, and even 3 surviving Cowsill brothers (Bob, Paul, and John) on harmony vocals on "River of Love" along with Bangle Victoria Peterson Cowsill. Susan's phrasing on "The Way That it Goes" is fantastic. There is plently of Lousiana love in "ONOLA" and "Cresent City Sneaux." In addition to her own great compositions, Susan also does a tender reading of Jimmy Webb's "Galveston" which originally debuted in the Top 100 in the same month and year (March 1969) as the Cowsills' "Hair," so it feels like a reflective sequel. Listen to the song samples on line, but rather than downloading the songs, I advise buying the CD package with lyrics contained, this time, plus Susan's swirling art work. This is a strong follow up to Susan Cowsills' Just Believe It, with timely, and hopeful content. Susan brings back our hopes from the '60s to modern times." "Lighthouse" is a journey Barb from the Board | Colorado, United States | 06/27/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Susan Cowsill's voice is outstanding. Gritty, natural, and full of emotion. Her songwriting, however, is incredible! She weaves a story of her days following Katrina that hit her beloved New Orleans. It left her and her family homeless for a time and grieving for her brother. Susan lets us into her innermost thoughts. We become her friends. It is truly a poignant CD. And is a gift. One of the best indie CDs out there."
