A pure country roots singer/songwriter who bends tradition on both ends.  It is essentially a country album, but the trumpets on the first track get your attention immediately.  And the songs!  My goodness the songs!  They're so honest and feel so comfortable.  Their feel and movement is outstanding. This album is for country lovers, but i think folkies will love it too.

CDBaby keeps them coming, this CD really got to me and being a crusty old sailor, not too many things get to me anymore, I really look forward to seeing this super-lady sing more, sit back and listen, enjoy.

There are tons of 'roots' releases coming out these days, but only a handful really stand out from the crowd. Cynthia Barber's "State of Grace" is one of those stand-outs.

This CD boasts some truly solid songwriting, fine performances and expressive vocals. These aren't the usual 'country clone' vocals that you can't help tripping over these days. Cynthia Barber's voice is honest, heartfelt....it makes an impression.

And, maybe best of all, this is a CD that's very heavy on mood and atmosphere. It's very visual stuff, and it stays with you long after you pop the CD out of the player.

Don't miss this one!
