Vicky’s second vocal album, a self-titled release, was recorded at Fur Seal Studios and co-produced with Matthew Freed (Cloud Cult) in Minneapolis with her incredibly talented All Man Band which includes Dean Magraw, Gordy Johnson, Daniel Marcus and Steve Goold. With steel guitar added by Lloyd Maines (Dixie Chicks, Terri Hendrix) from Austin, Texas, this album is a sophisticated blending of folk, blues and country that shines true Americana music while also giving you an window into Vicky’s life. “When we recorded this album, I felt very comfortable and confident in the studio. We only had four days to record this album. That meant it was imperative that my vision was accessible to the other guys in the band. The first day we recorded eight songs as a group so I feel that we were able to achieve that goal while also capturing the spontaneous energy we generate when we play live.”
Perhaps growing up on a pig farm in rural Wisconsin was the best training Vicky could have had to learn the discipline required to pursue a career in music. Vicky laughs, “I grew up in a place where the closest city was an hour away and my home town celebrated UFO sightings. I could not make this stuff up if I tried! For many artists, including myself, you can spend so much time trying to please people who tell you to write a certain way or look a certain way that you spend too much time chasing your tail instead of writing music. I moved to New York City and something clicked inside me. I decided to embrace my past—the good and the bad. Instead of shying away from it, I began drawing upon my experiences to write from a very honest place. “
Emerson has found the truth that when one door closes another one opens. Her manager and long-time co-writer resigned this year unexpectedly and Emerson suddenly found herself in New York with a newfound freedom to write songs. Why the self-titled release? “This album is closer to me because the songs are my stories. The Wheat Fields is a nightmare I had, Hey Hey Song is a special moment between my fiancé and I, and Over and Over is inspired by an abusive relationship that I was in and found the strength to leave. My life has made its way into this record and for the first time, I felt comfortable just letting it all go.”

Recently, I added a new song to my music player called, "Always" which might be one of the best songs I've written so far. Tthe chorus was scored for an entire violin section, however, in studio, I had one violinist, Jan "Yes I Can" Sullins. I asked her to single handedly create the sound of a "Hollywood style" string section. This is almost like telling someone, "Please jump rope one handed 10 times while monkeys nip at your feet."
Lucky for me, Jan worked some magic and now you can hear it on track 1 in my music player. It's called "Always" and is from my upcoming album, "Awakening," to be released June 16th.
Hope all is well Great page here:) Sometimes we need just a little Sunshine in our lives. That is why I am wishing, on each and every calendar day, for smiles and sunshine to come your way! Thanks for the add Peace and love J.

Smooth rock/reggae/funk for the thinking and dancing aficionado. Think of Peter Gabriel jamming and partying with Robbie Robertson, Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson in Bob Marley's Hope Road studio. http://www.davesasscer.com
