What fun! Not overly produced, just pure sound and fun. I have to skip \"Appreciate This Life\" because I tear up every time I hear it. Old Dirt Roads is my favorite because I grew up on old dirt roads, too. You don\'t have to live in the south to love this CD!!

I live in the belly of bluegrass country and it has become a favorite venue...the variety is pleasing, the description hits home no matter where you are from or are living. I know a Stony Knoll and found that tune extra special but \"Grits\" is a favorite as is \"Alaskan Spirit.\" My CD hasn\'t been out of my player in over a week!

Wonderful CD. Melissa has a beautiful voice and you can tell she writes and sings from her heart. If you love the Carolinas and Alaska this CD is a must have. Especially love the GRITS song on track 9. She will have you singing along, laughing or smiling very quickly.
