Tracy's highly acclaimed sophomore release. Fourteen acoustic tracks (13 originals plus her cover of Eleanor Rigby). Produced by Randy Green (Randy's Recording); material ranges from lively band arrangements to guitar solos and intimate acoustic ballads accented with cello and harp. Sophisticated and moving, this album showcases Tracy’s diverse musical influences. "Well it’s not going to be 'quietly there' for much longer for Tracy Jane Comer. This singer/songwriter is key to moving the whole darn genre forward. Her sound is mature and soaked with talent throughout this dynamic take of contemporary acoustic rock that’s not afraid to plug things in on occasion......Superb." [Smother.Net Ezine, Nov. 2004]
