Red Bird
2005 Album from the Singer Songwriter, her First after Having her First Child. The Opener "Welcome" Appeared on an Earlier Us Release and Includes Contributions from Dido. Further, as She Explains, "For the First Time I Had Something Else Besides Music (My Baby) Taking Up My Time and Attention. So Instead of Having Endless Days with Nothing to Do but Write, I Had 2-3 Hours on a Good Day. And that Meant Focusing in and Working Very Intensely in a Way I Hadn't Done Before. It was a Challenge. But at the Same Time I was Incredibly Inspired to Write for this Album. I Had Just Had a Life-altering Experience! I Felt Like My Heart Had Been Blown Wide Open and I was the Most Vulnerable and Yet the Strongest I Had Ever Been."
