Search - Connie Dover :: Restless Angel (Ranch Girl Love Lyrics)

Acclaimed by the Boston Globe as "the finest folk ballad singer America has produced since Joan Baez", Connie Dover brings her powerhouse song-writing skills to the fore with this collection of 14 original songs firmly rooted in the bedrock of American old-time music. Written on a Wyoming ranch where she lived and worked, and recorded in a small adobe studio northern New Mexico, Restless Angel captures the open, spare atmosphere of the setting that inspired the music. Drawing on timeless motifs from ballad traditions and the straightforward harmonies of early country music, Connie sings with authenticity of yearning, regret and hope, and of deep passions stirred by love found and lost. The sound is intimate and purely acoustic, with accompaniment by an instrumental trio of friends whose guitar, fiddle and banjo showcase their mastery of traditional style. In Restless Angel, Connie's voice, clear and true, marks the life of the human heart within in an enduring Western landscape.
