Product Description This 13-song album of songs written by Texas-based singer-songwriter duo Girls With Guitars truly reflects the duo's widely regarded versatility as well as their musicianship. After its pop-flavored opening love song, listeners will journey through blue-grass style tunes, folk ballads, toe-tapping blues numbers, and rock-influenced anthems ... all of which carry food for thought, if you're not too busy just enjoying the music. Stubbornly acoustic in its sound throughout, the album features the twosome's compelling guitar work, including some accomplished lead guitar and classical work by Kelly, and that spellbinding GWG vocal blend born of the fusion of Kelly's husky alto and Ferryn's clear soprano. Adding intrigue to several songs are a few musical guests who sit in on cello, trumpet, fiddle, and congas. Although the common theme running through all of GWG's songs is a celebration of life's journey and hope for the future, they're not afraid to get to that in different ways ... you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll become outraged, and you'll love before the album is over. Review Houston Tribune - "If you haven't yet caught a show by this Houston-based duo, now's the time. They write and perform music with honest yet hopeful messages about contemporary life that move the hearts and minds of their growing audiences. "On Our Way", the album, is an eclectic collection of original songs embracing all of life's ups and downs ... and what we can learn from them along the way. Whether soaring high on love in "The Best Of Me" or making sense of a horrific hate crime in "I Wonder" (a haunting tribute to James Byrd andthe town of Jasper), GWG will engage you with this album." -- REVIEW: About the Artist This all-woman acoustic duo with the tongue-in-cheek name, but straight-from-the-heart songwriting may well be Texas' best-kept secret. Composed of Kelly Wallin and Ferryn Martin, the GWGs weave spellbinding harmonies and intricate counter-melodies through songs that celebrate life and the human experience. Performing together since 1994, Kelly and Ferryn have two albums out showcasing their growing reputation for musical versatility. Thir eclectic style shows in performances and on record: song themes range from the humorous yuppie angst anthem "I Need A Vacation" to "I Wonder (The Jasper Song," a haunting ballad decrying hate crimes; musical styles range from ballads to blues to pop-infused folk. Perhaps it is their continued commitment maintaining other careers in addition to music that informs their music so uniquely - Kelly is a pediatric registered nurse and Ferryn is a high school history teacher. According to Lorelei Music Magazine, "Whether it is their smart and witty lyrics, or their contagious vocal blend, you will find yourself caught up by their intensity. Be sure to experience this duo for yourself." BAND_MEMBERS: Kelly Wallin and Ferryn Martin See more
