Terri's 2002 recording is entitled "Spark." Devoted to the music of Terri Templeton (with a tip of her hat to English composer Henry Purcell) "Spark" pronounces in a distinctly personalized language the familiar journey we all take - a journey started and restarted each day and finished in the dream-trip we take each night, fueled by fantasy rising to the poetic.
Rich in musical ideas and meaning, these songs are full of Terri Templeton's intelligence, poetry, and heat. Think of a diary, think of each day written in pictures and song with the qualities of imagination, humor, and passion, above all, filled with the playful soulfulness we have learned to expect from anything that Terri Templeton sets her hand to.
For this album, Terri has invited a trio of musicians who share the same joy for making music and the same passion for language. On guitar, fusion guitarist Paul Nelson.
On bass, NYC session guru Kenji Yamauchi. On drums and percussion, Boston's Boogaloo Swamis' own Mike Migliozzi.

The beautiful and elusive Terri Templeton at her best!
author: Sisley Huddleston
"Spark" is what Terri Templeton is all about...clean, cool songs that make a subtle tip of the hat to artists as diverse as Ray Davies and Odetta. Terri seems to have everything going for her...a clean, cool singing style, and a song-writing gift that can at once probe all the dark places and spaces in love and life...paired up with her husband and collaborator,Michael Maglaras...on a few of the sogs....these two create magic.
This album is the sleeper of the year in all respects...each song is a gem and tranparently beautiful...5 Stars
