Lo-Flo Records to Release
Songs from the Vault: Reel #2
Featuring the Voice of Tami Lynn
The Second Installment of a Series Dedicated to
Exploring the Archives of
Prolific Songwriter Jane McNealy
Out September 17, 2021
Lo Flo Records to release Songs from the Vault: Reel #2, the second installment in an ongoing archival series which aims to explore the immense songwriting catalog of artist Jane McNealy. Truly unable to be pigeon-holed, McNealy follows up Reel #1’s soft folk Americana offering with these three soulful R&B ballads written in 1979/1980 featuring the incredible performances of vocalist Tami Lynn. Songs from the Vault: Reel #2 will be out September 17, 2021. To learn more about McNealy and her work, please visit https://linktr.ee/loflorecords. This upcoming release collects three compositions from McNealy’s catalog: “Where Are You Now,” the opener, “Make It Happen,” and the jazz standard “One Day At A Time.” Although each track is unique in its own right, these songs are connected by McNealy’s keen ability to write about matters of the heart. The first song, expressing bittersweet memories conjured by a past love, sets the tone for Reel #2. These deep emotional stakes of romance continue with “Make It Happen.” If the previous song is a plea to an old lover to take her back, “Make It Happen” is a wish that the first stirrings of love will grow to something beautiful and lasting. Finally, the direction of Reel #2 changes with the jazzy “One Day At A Time.” This song is actually an alternate recording of a track included in McNealy’s June 2021 album of the same name. It features McNealy’s talent for emotional storytelling through the eyes of a weary traveler speeding through a metropolis on a train. With Songs from the Vault, Reel: #2, McNealy truly showcases the power of love and longing as captured by song, and Tami Lynn’s performances glide effortlessly from passionate and assured to searching and heavy heartbreak. |
