Cindy Bullens is a classy lady of immense talent. She appeared in Grease, released a Grammy nominated album and toured with Elton John. Her many album credits include Elton John's 'Blue Moves', Geoff Muldaur's 'Motion' and Bob Neuwirth's 'Look Up'. Her own last album, 'Cindy Bullens', appeared in 1989. She's one of those 'I wonder what happened to them?' artists, well, now we know and it's uncomfortable stuff, but don't look away. Four years ago her eleven-year old daughter Jessie died of cancer complications. This album of songs was Bullens' way through the tragedy.. Sometimes a songwriter really does have something to write and rail about and, when they do, we can relate with them and our own frustrations, anger and helplessness. With Bullens there is no self-pity; it's strong, defiant and redemptive fare whilst she is 'Boxing With God' and 'Better Than I've Ever Been'. Hers is no little voice; it's confident and true, honed by her 'rock singer' past. Friends have provided joyous backing vocals: including Bonnie Raitt and Beth Nielson Chapman on 'I Gotta Believe in Something'; Bryan Adams on 'Somewhere between Heaven and Earth' and Lucinda Williams on 'The End Of Wishful Thinking'. Her daughter Reid joins her for the beautiful 'As Long As You Love (Scarlet Wings). Bullens is herself an assured musician on acoustic and rhythm guitars and harmonica, and a varied group of session musicians provide the band-support for songs which move you, rock you and take you to that other place, that only the best music can.Hair cut short now and performing solo, she previewed her July UK-release album with a one-off short set of songs at that great venue for songwriters, the Kashmir Klub, London. She, like her album, shines with a great light; there's passion, hope, love and the only sadness for us is that something so tragic was the inspiration for such a wonderful album.
