About the album

With feelings of profound loss over the direction of the world in the last several years, Los Angeles vocalist Cathy Segal-Garcia found herself searching back through songs from the '60's and '70s - another period of existential uncertainty. The songwriters of the day spoke to those conditions, offering hopes for healing, love and redemption and providing a moral touchstone for a generation. Partnering with supreme musicians, Anthony Wilson, Josh Nelson, Lorca Hart, and Edwin Livingston, Cathy found new paths to voice the feelings at the center of those songs, while adding resonance for these times. Songs from Stephen Stills, Marvin Gaye, Steve Winwood and Peter Gabriel are combined with the Segal-Garcia original, "What Are We Gonna Do." They uplift, add perspective, and console. “Segal-Garcia uses her deep and expressive voice to suggest more - not hope, not optimism, but perhaps that faith in our ability to rebound.” - Marc Phillips

Die Sängerin Cathy Segal-Garcia aus Los Angeles fühlte sich angesichts der Entwicklung der Welt in den letzten Jahren zutiefst verloren und erinnerte sich an Lieder aus den 60er und 70er Jahren - einer anderen Zeit der existenziellen Unsicherheit. Die Songwriter von damals sprachen diese Zustände an, gaben Hoffnung auf Heilung, Liebe und Erlösung und waren ein moralischer Prüfstein für eine ganze Generation. Durch die Zusammenarbeit mit hervorragenden Musikern wie Anthony Wilson, Josh Nelson, Lorca Hart und Edwin Livingston fand Cathy neue Wege, um die Gefühle, die im Mittelpunkt dieser Lieder standen, zum Ausdruck zu bringen und sie gleichzeitig in die heutige Zeit zu übertragen. Songs von Stephen Stills, Marvin Gaye, Steve Winwood und Peter Gabriel werden mit dem Segal-Garcia-Original "What Are We Gonna Do" kombiniert. Sie erheben, geben eine Perspektive und trösten. "Segal-Garcia nutzt ihre tiefe und ausdrucksstarke Stimme, um mehr zu suggerieren - nicht Hoffnung, nicht Optimismus, aber vielleicht den Glauben an unsere Fähigkeit, uns zu erholen." - Marc Phillips
