About Tina Marsh's INSIDE THE BREAKING: VOLUME I
These are songs that I'm often requested to sing. They are gorgeous melodies and stories of themselves, so our approach is purposefully spare giving them lots of space to breathe. This collection has a long, slow arc through an unlikely combination of songs. There is a wistful sadness underscored by the elegant simplicity of Eddy's arrangements and piano as well as Terry's cello. Here in this collection, the first in a series, we give you a morsel of lingering bitter sweetness from where we sometimes find ourselves -- here in the breaking at the brink of hope. - TM
