O’s Notes: Tierney has a bright, fresh tone that she deploys scatting, vocalizing and singing with crisp, well-articulated lyrics. Sutton’s songs speak of current events, racism, and historical perspectives, with a factual perspective, one that tends to be absent in too much of today’s society. However, honestly does still predominate the majority of our population’s mines and spirit. That all comes together in dreams and hope on “Good People”. “Monkey Mind”, “The In Between”, “Where’d I Put My Keys?”, and “Lullaby For Chris” are other highlights.
