Southern Rock Angel Southern Rock Angel
It is a guitar jammer song with killer guitar, drums and a thumping bass beat. I think the vocals came out good. It definetly a beer drinking and thinking song.

This song is about a fictious character in one of my native american short stories. So I wrote a song about her.
Taliesin Moonwolf is a collaboration of Musical Friends. Joe Melini and Jackie Melini-Eyster were a Songwriting Couple. Joe Melini and Jackie Melini-Eyster will be revamping our music. Music that was never released from Melini Studio will have a serious new mix down. We also hope to add some new music that we had worked on and add some more ROCK to our belt.

I have been singing since I can remember. My mom sang professionally for a while, and I vaguely remember her singing in the studio in Danbury, Ct. So I was hooked when I heard her. And I knew from then I wanted to sing and write music. I was born in Danbury, Ct., when I was about 5 we moved to Southern Illinois. We first moved to Energy, Il. and we attended a small but wonderful Methodist Church were I sang in the Choir I loved it. Then to Herrin, then Carterville, then our last stop was Crainville, Il. Where I attended Carterville Community High School. Then we moved to Ebensburg, Pa., where I attended Central Cambria High School. I have been writing lyrics, poems and music since I was about 15 or 16. Then we moved to Millville, N.J. when I was 21 and I met a great musician by the name of Walt Sapsai.
This CD is the 2nd one for myself and my husband Joe. I moved to New Jersey in 1988. I met Walt Sapsai in 1989, and we jammed and wrote music together. Walt was in working bands and have remained best of friends ever since. I met my ex husband Joe Melini in 1995 and found out he was a musician too. Well I fell in love. WE married and made beautiful rock music together. Joe and I divorced and I went on to write and record with Frank Maione of Copper Ridge Studio. That is a whole other brand of music.
My favorite singers/bands are:
Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac, Heart-Ann Wilson, Pat Benatar,Wynona Judd, Rainbow, Deep Purple,Twisted Sister Dio, Krokus, any 80's heavy metal bands. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blackfoot, Rossington/Collins Band-Dale Krantz-Rossington I love all Southern Rock tunes.
I just love writing and recording.
