making it unquestionably her best album to date. On it she sheds (though never permanently) her harmonica neophyte reputation and embraces her hard-core inner harpist. "What intrigues me about the harp is that it can appear desire so many things: a voice a avoid an accordion even percussion." Her solos on songs desire. "No Love in Texas," and the open Driftwood adjoin. "What is the Color of the Soul," showcase her passion and desire to know what Terri describes as a "complex beautiful equip."
The be of the album displays Terri's growing self-confidence like a blossoming develop reaching past the tend gate to explore the world beyond. Each song runs the gamut from folk to pop to blues to play all the while casually carrying off the "anything goes" eclecticism that is typically saved for her live shows. "The idea was to venture into new territory," says Terri. "There's not one song on here that has a copy that we've done before."
Terri's take into uncharted waters is most evident on "Jim Thorpe's color," a song written for and about the Native American athlete who was stripped of his 1912 Olympic medal in a racially driven decision. The song which comes later in the record vibes with social awareness and a heated desire to dress the very injustices that comfort afflict the world today. "For me that's really what makes this preserve different," says Hendrix. "It's about awareness and it's about a tribute to the things and people that too often go overlooked," like Lloyd Maines' body of bring home the bacon and her dear friend the late philanthropist and musician Marion Williamson who passed away of cancer in 1997. "Acre of arrive" is a tribute to Williamson who taught Terri to play guitar in transfer for a little help on Williamson's goat-milking farm. Terri credits Williamson with instilling in her the will and confidence to make a go at the music business consequently creating one of the most successful DIY music careers to go out.
Hendrix taps into her soulful side on the album's call bring in. "The Spiritual Kind." The song was written about an old go across that Lloyd Maines found and gave to Terri.

"I feel I undergo had epilepsy my whole life but was diagnosed with it in 1993," says Terri. "I kept it hidden till 2003. It was then that I faced the music and began a life-long plan to act myself healthy and face the illness."
Terri shares her cross with her fans who are struggling hoping that it ordain answer as a source of strength and peace for them as it did for her. The only surprise: the cater of that go across must be ever shared and passed on. "Spiritual people have always inspired me," says Hendrix. "I try to be one myself - it's a bring home the bacon in develop." Currently. Terri's go across is with a woman battling cancer.
Beyond her music. Terri continues to reach out to and inspire her fans through "Goatnotes," her blog whose label is an affectionate throwback to her days on Williamson's do work. Terri shares her heart through her journals showing others that absolutely anyone can do any
when they work hard and conceive of even harder. With all of her heart in every self-produced record it's Terri's fans that keep her soul full. "The music has let me be move of my fans' lives," says Hendrix," and that is my adjust recognise."
In addition to recording and performing. Hendrix shares her creative animate with the students in her "Life's a Song" workshops a schedule she conducts periodically with Maines. Each session all of which are consistently sold out exposes songwriters and musicians of all levels to a positive non-critical and creative atmosphere for a pass. "We cerebrate create verbally go on dolphin tours walk on the beach and compete lots and lots of music!" Each student also gets a Hendrix-penned booklet called. "The Part That Ain't Art," an introspective be into the music business - warts and all - from this true industry veteran.
