Album DescriptionKathy Tugman calls her music "alternative pop," meaning that it is based in a variety of popular styles (pop, rock, country, folk, ballads and story songs)but is unified through an emphasis on the importance of memory and external and internal landscapes in defining who we are, who we love, what we hope to be. The songs are tightly crafted but are open to a variety of musics and a range of influences,never forgetting that the soul is moved when the body is, too. The songs are built around Kathy's strong and varied vocal style, grounded on the rhythm section and driven by guitar on many tracks, piano on others. This is intelligent music that always wants to swing.
