Synopsis
Album Description Sandra McCracken's songwriting on her second independent release is a natural movement toward the sounds and stories of Americana music. The record is driven by Sandra's stirring vocals and acoustic guitar sounds as it flows gracefully from song to song, framing the bittersweet lyrics of family and nostalgia. The album was produced with the same musicians throughout, and recorded as a band so as to capture the charms and imperfections of a live performance. It maintains the accessibility of honest folk music, while combining the textures of bluegrass and country rock. From Garret Buell's ambient percussion on the title track, to the wails of Bucky Baxter's pedal steel on "Steel & Magic," this record may be hard to categorize for the record shelves, but it's effortless for the ears.

CD ReviewsAn intelligent, subtle, beautiful album William J. Gage | Woodbridge, VA United States | 09/10/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I found out about Sandra McCracken from the liner notes of Caedmon Call's "Back Home" album. As I was reading the lyrics to several of the songs, I discovered that my favorite songs on the album were written by Sandra. I was amazed at the artistry, nuance, and insight of the lyrics and the beauty of the music, a rare find in Christian music circles. I looked her up on the Internet, hoping that she had released her own album, and purchased "Gypsy Flat Road" as soon as I found it. I was not disappointed. Sandra's voice is wonderful. Her guitar playing is impressive. Her lyrics are thought-provoking and honest. I highly recommend this album!"
