MARTHA L HEALY
Fellow Glaswegian
singer songwriter Martha L Healy who has just released her new album
"Keep the Flame Alight". Martha was accompanied by Al Shields on guitar and backing vocals.
The
album was written on Martha’s 3-month “life sabbatical” in
Nashville in 2016. She returned to Nashville to record the fruits of
her labour in October/November 2017, with David Spicher in the
producer’s chair. Featuring a host of Music City’s finest session
players – including Eamon McLoughlin on fiddle (Rodney Crowell,
Emmylou Harris); Bill Cooley on guitar (Merle Haggard) and Dave
Racine on drums (Jim Lauderdale) – the record sees Martha further
develop her personal song writing voice.
