This CD draws the listener into Shelly's world with emotions that are real and words that are true. Backed up by a band that is tight, polished and professional, these songs demonstrate the versatility of the artists, as they step across genre lines to express light and darkness, joy and sadness. Every song is a picture of life, and I can't wait to hear and see more.

The first time I heard Shelly's music I was some what shocked.  As an artist, singer, songwriter myself, I can fully understand what it takes to produce an albumn of such quality.  She is awesome; from here get down and make you feel it lyrics, to her suttle enchantment, Shelly delivers. I have seen her blow people down one minute and make them know that she really loves them the next.  What more can I say!!!

So many positive things can be said about this album and about Shelly Phelps, for that matter.  I have heard several tracks from this album and they have all been dead on, from lyrics, to music, and most importantly to me, through the connection Shelly feels and expresses concerning the emotion laid out in and through her music.  In particular, Lonely Ride has been added to a small, elite group of songs that I hold dear to my heart.  Lonely Ride, in a very positive way, haunts me with its beauty and depth.  I can feel myself in those lyrics and I can feel Shelly's honest approach at having gone through these experiences herself.  The album as a whole is a very real, raw back-to-basics true artistic expressions of human emotion.  There's everything from "feel-good" music (Smoke and Perfume) to depth (Lonely Ride) on this album...definitely something for everyone!  Enjoy it as much as I do!

From the first blues-drenched guitar riff, Shelly Phelps' debut solo disc "Girl On The Wire", after 2003's dissolution of the Rhythm Junkie's, pogoes from upbeat pop to soulful introspection on cuts like "Providence Moves Too" and the album's title track. Working with the rock-solid rhythm section of guitarist, Rob Vollmar, bassistt Warren Roach and drummer Erol Coulter, Phelps' distinctive smoky vocals wrap themselves around these barroom vignettes like so much satin." -Preston Jones
