It can be easily argued - and successfully as well - that those songs that truly resonate are the ones that speak to our humanity and inspire us to peer well beyond the horizon. Beth Snapp's striking new single a cover of the Steve Winwood classic 'Higher Love' does just that. It's sung for a cause one that is particularly powerful in a time when the struggle for civil rights has not only intensified but become all the more essential. Snapp recorded the single at the behest of TriPride an organization that works towards building a stronger and more inclusive community across Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. 'When I was first approached by TriPride to cover this tune my first thought was wow they hit the nail on the head thematically,' Snapp says. 'To choose a song that calls for a higher love and peace between neighbors is the most imperative message we can be spreading especially at a time when the divide has become so much deeper. I was so proud to get to be a part of that message.' Indeed the song's lyrics share an incisive message that's not only timeless but especially telling as well:

Thematically, Color Where You Arespans from Jacobs learning to recognize the divisive nature of the current socio-political climate to the joys and challenges of becoming a husband and new father; the album's title references Jacobs no longer having the luxury of waiting for inspiration to strike and learning to write “between tours, coming home, changing diapers, fixing things around the house… whenever I could.” The album has received praise from Relix, JamBase, Glide Magazine, and The Washington Post, who commented that the album, “might be his finest yet.”

When blind guitar legend Joey Stuckey gives inspirational talks about overcoming odds and helping people define success on their own terms, he's big on the concept of living a life of intention. Yet when the veteran blues rocker booked his progressive Americana trio into the legendary Sun Studio for a three hour session on an off day from their tour, he had no specific plan except to record a few originals and covers. Letting the legendary spirits in the room (Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Elvis, et al), the vintage 50's-60's equipment and the refreshing spontaneity of a live in the studio opportunity take over, Stuckey created In The Shadow of the Sun, the most unexpected and amazing full length album of his career.
