Album Notes

NOTES

In a vast sea of many different singing voices, Pat Holley's is and always was unusually different.

According to her, it blended well with her Mom's voice, her Dad's and any one of her four brothers' voices but rarely with anyone else's.

On her first full CD, she blends that unusually different voice only with a piano and channels it through a heart naked to all and for all who will listen.
