As promised, my new song, Sailing in the Sky! This is available now on Bandcamp: /track/sailing-in-the-sky
(link in bio too)
This was co-written with my husband, Michael Murray and longtime co-writer Scott Free, who also did a great job producing the song. This song was inspired by a recent parasailing adventure during a trip to Florida last winter. My husband and I went parasailing for the first time, and it was such a great experience that we decided to write a song about it! @chrissyeroberts added some great harmonies and Larry Treadwell provided some tasty mandolin licks. Hope you all enjoy the song! NOTE: this is one of the songs from my upcoming album, due out in November.
