Lone Star: Songs and Stories Straight from the Heart of Texas is the latest from native Texan, Glenna Bell. Themes range the gamut from story songs of Glenna's life in Texas to upbeat old-school pop-rock love songs to the enigmatic and haunting "Christmas Is Coming," plus unique takes on Don Henley's "Heart of the Matter," and "Everybody's Changing" by the UK's Keane, which showcases its' writer Tim Rice-Oxley on piano and harmonium. Lone Star boasts a gorgeous cover by French-Canadian artist, Natali Leduc, with captivating photography by Amy Morris shot on location at Glenna's hundred year old wood home on the shadowy-sunshiny edge of downtown Houston. Backing is provided by veteran Austin players Johnny Nicholas on boogie-woogie piano/guitar, George Reiff bass and Rick Richards drums and steel guitar Mike Hardwick.
