Album Notes

Joyce Woodson's roots are in acoustic Folk music as well as Western music. Her songs are about what she knows - the southern California farmlands. Joyce's upbringing on her family's farm makes for a rich background giving her a strong sense of place. He lovely voice and striking stage presence sometimes leads people to compare her with the late Kate Wolf or Mary Chapin Carpenter.

Woodson started out playing the local Folk music scene in southern California soon gaining recognition playing the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas, the Napa Valley Music Festival in Northern California, and the Western Music Festival in Tucson, Arizona. She is also a regular performer at the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum in Burbank, California as well as the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming.

Joyce's songs have been recorded by several prominent folk singers including: Kristina Olsen (Rounder Recording artist), Jean Prescott (who was recently voted "Best Cowgirl Singer in Texas"), and Kim Wallach (New England recording artist). Joyce's song "Drive Myself Home" was featured on NPR's radio show "Car Talk."

She currently makes her home in Nashville, Tennessee, and frequently tours the United States and Great Britain.
