Album Notes

When eclectic inspiration gushes from lyricist & composer Celia Lawley & lands on a CD, the result is the emotionally exuberant, non-homogenized sound of Celia & Thunder Rose's "POSITIVE THRILL" CD!

From attitude to inspiration, "POSITIVE THRILL" celebrates a blend of roots & contemporary styles embracing country, folk, blues, pop, rock, gospel & bluegrass music.

Of the cherished musical friends who grace Celia's CD with their talent, most hail from her native San Diego,
California.

Having toured across the US & Canada performing live at concerts, rodeos, casinos & fairs, these musical moments captured on CD reflect the unique musical personality they have developed together.

Included on this CD along with 12 original songs is their signature version of the fiddle standard Orange Blossom Special which their fans have dubbed "Outrageous Orange Blossom Special" because of it's "Grateful Dead" meets "Papa John Creech" improvisational mayhem! Recorded in one, 20 minute take, live in the studio, they somehow managed to not only chart an effective course through the labyrinth of tempo changes (without visual contact with Celia because of space limitations)but collectively arrive "right on track" at the "depot" with their cargo of kinetic energy!

Imagine lying on a warm California beach, your bare toes tapping to the sounds of music blending in the wind from three distant radios-Charlie Daniels-Alison Krauss-Grateful Dead. You think....this is a "Positive Thrill"

Slamm magazine of San Diego reviewed Celia & Thunder Rose's "POSITIVE THRILL CD-...she's a fiery blonde who often calls herself "fiddlegirl" when she's performing (listen to "Outrageous Orange Blossom Special" to find
out why)...her real talent lies in songwriting...the slow crooners. The heartbreaking ache of "It Could Be
You," for example, reached out and grabbed me by the throat immediately. Same with the bittersweet "When I Look In Your Eyes" (which would be covered by Joe Cocker in an instant if I ruled the universe)...A nice disc with great backing. I recommend this disc to anyone who's seen Celia's show & would like a souvenir of her performance. I also recommend it to any A&R rep who's looking for some killer country ballads."---Slamm magazine, San Diego.
