A song about a woman who steps up with courage and finds that her neighbors join her, one about living through dark and lonely aspects of night and reaching the hope of a new dawn, a many faceted look at how art, life, and faith intersect in not always predictable ways, a tap your foot snap your fingers re imagining of some New Testament stories, and a look at e mail gone astray -- all of these form part of the music on Carrie Newcomer’s latest album, The Geography of Light.
It’s an album that pushes the boundaries out a bit father, both musically and lyrically, for Newcomer... and if you'd like to hear more of her thoughts on songwriting, faith, and making musical connections, please click on Music Road: Voices: Carrie Newcomer: faith and laughter
