Excellent recording and your vocals are spot on and very appealing to the emotions as always. This recording is especially interesting because it is unique - In fact this is one of those rare recordings that crosses genre. That is it comes off sounding both country but with a touch of folk rock kind of like what Buffalo Springfield or Crosby, stills, and Nash might do. Another one who has done this is Bonnie Ray. IT's tricky to do and you did it. This of course gives the recording a broader appeal. I know I really enjoyed the listen very much and I'm not a country fan but if anyone could convert me it probably is you. I got to shut up and and listen to it again.

Great collaboration, heart wrenching, so true to life. Really great vocals as always, great backing as well. Like that guitar a little dirty like that, it complements the passion of the song. Excellent!

Hello Hayley, I am enjoying "Things Happen" this morning..... You have a way of bringing any song to life with your angelic voice..... Thank you for your kind words on "Angelic Delight" Wishing you and yours a wonderful day, :) Luv N Hugs, Kurt and Elaine
This has a timeless beauty, wonderful heartache lyric, melody and arrangement are super. Your vocal as I've been listening through each of your songs continued to remind of someone in the past when I was youthful and young and I finally figured it out. Dolly Pardon in her early years, yes that's it and I loved listening to her, still do but she doesn't sing as high as she did those early years. Lovely vocals on everything Hayley. big hugs, Colleen
