HeLikesHisMusic This album is absolutely fantastic; every track is exceptional, and I simply can't choose a favorite! It served as my initial exposure to Jackie's music, and I'm eagerly anticipating the remastered versions and delving deeper into their repertoire. The sound is refreshingly distinct, and I particularly enjoyed the bridge and outro on Vintage Machine. Favorite track: Make Me Feel.

vvartdal This was my introduction to Jackie. This cute talented guitar player songwriter who was live-streaming from her room in the heart of the pandemic. We faced a super uncertain future, but this beautiful powerful soul was going for it from a house somewhere in Austin TX. I became a fan for life. Still gives me chills to remember how I felt that day. Venson! Who’s Benson Boomer? Favorite track: Make Me Feel.

TJ Edwardz I am listening to this album while doing a backyard workout with my son. Listened to it on the way to Charlotte NC. It is a BEAST!

Awake 04:04
Awake Papa don’t worry I will make it Papa I was born with your dreams All I remember are stars shining And how much I needed to shine too I remember day after day He hustlin’ and raising babies Dreams had to take a break Dreams he never would chase So begins me papa’s new dream 1 2 3 And just like that magic Life goes on Woah So he raised me and he taught me To keep runnin runnin runnin Like all is at stake here is the world I am awake And I know most of us won’t get there And I still wonder if I want to Born with a dream or is it an illusion Once I am there it’s not what I thought But no matter day after day We all have to earn our way So if I’m gonna spend my life I will spend it in pursuit I will push until I can’t I will work until I’m broken I will master my own world Be the ruler of my fate So begins me papa’s new dream 1 2 3 And just like that magic Life goes on Woah So he raised me and he taught me To keep runnin runnin runnin Like all is at stake here is the world I am awake I am awake I am awake I am awake

Home 02:55
We go out driving Usually at night Everything so quiet No wait no line Down memory lane In our hometown Relive my youth With my best friend Roots run deep Open arms my soul to keep Where I fell and learned to love Home Open mic Strumming my strings for the first time Where the song never dies Home The world sees one thing My friends know what’s up My highs and lows my flaws Can’t scare real love And we grew up in Austin So we don’t care Free as the river The music blares Roots run deep Open arms my soul to keep Where I fell and learned to love Home Open mic Strumming my strings for the first time Where the song never dies Home No matter how far I go I will always come home No matter how far I go I will always come home Bored of the rat race Let’s blow this place I know just where to go They know my face And it’s endless music We play all night Sing songs of freedom Sings songs of life Roots so deep Open arms my soul to keep Where I fell I fell in love Home Open mic Strumming my guitar til the end of time yeah
I will always go I will always go Home home home Home

Vintage machine Feeling so high These beats hypnotize me It’s no surprise No drug can beat this music Don’t want to stop Want to get lost Vintage machine Rule over me Vintage machine I’m Lost in a dream Buttons and knobs I think I found my purpose Feeling so free Even though I’m the servant So hard to stop Want to stay lost In this vintage machine Rule over me Vintage machine I’m lost in a dream Vintage machine Rule over me Vintage machine I’m lost in this dream These machines they all rule over me Late at night I hear their melodies Truth is I can’t stop Im so obsessed Now I see that this defines success She flies through the sky High on a life That for now is laid out before her What she can’t see Is the trail of debris She’s left in pursuit of her dreams What will it take for her to wake From the trance of the chase and the chaos? Who will be there When the dark clouds appear And the path becomes steep and unclear Vintage machine Rule over me Vintage machine Lost in a dream Vintage machine Rule over me Vintage machine I’m lost in this dream

Make Me Feel 04:24
And so now the story goes I fall in love Floating free in outer space I’m always falling Day by day I’m in the clouds My faith is blinding Even though I know it’s love It still feels new You make me feel so good Don’t know what I’d do without you You make me feel so good And I never wanna be without you in my life There’s a line that separates Good from crazy It’s very fine but I have learned How to navigate I fell in love and I fell hard So let it take me Life is here for me to live So I will live You make me feel so good Don’t know what I’d do without you You make me feel so good And I never wanna be without you in my life I don’t care what they say They will go theirs and I will go my way I don’t need to explain I will not try to quantify this is God’s language And I will sing I will spread love’s comfort and healing He has given his hand to me I will do the same Walk with him, walk with him, walk with him, walk with him I will do my best by him I will not give up Walk with him, walk with him, walk with him, walk with him Even in our darkest hours I’ll stand by his side Walk with him, walk with him, walk with him, walk with him Walk with him, walk with him, walk with him, walk with him Walk with him, walk with him, walk with him, walk with him

LoFi 03:53
Lofi Hey I don’t even know what time it is All day I’ve been in my head all day You need to get some sun You need to get some sleep When the hell I ask you what you think? Hey don’t tell me how to live my life Realize Life in Lofi Could be no stress no stress Unplug detach I dream about it Then immediately I’m hypnotized Too much The whole world is in my hands I wanna buy new stuff I wanna watch my stories I want my supper delivered Stuck by choice in a velvet rut I realize Life in Lofi Could be no stress no stress Unplug detach I dream about it Freedom in a world with too much noise I want simple joy Slow down live more I need it lofi with no stress no stress I dream about it Remember who I am (Remember where you come from from from) Only so much time (Never lose that focus focus focus) Every decade I feel reborn (Remember where you come from from from) 
And these songs are my guiding force (Never lose that focus focus focus) 
 To the past I tried to go but the waves of change had flowed All the folks faded away Became memories and were replaced (Remember where you come from from from)
 Only so much time (Never lose that focus focus focus) Realize Life in Lofi Could be no stress no stress Unplug detach I dream about it Freedom in a world with too much noise I want simple joy Slow down live more I need it lofi with no stress no stress I dream about it

Surrender 03:56
Hey little girl why are you so worried Hey little girl just try to be happy Finding the truth can be so painful Beauty is found when light still shines through Anything anything for the Anything anything for the good vibrations yeah Surrender Give in to the highs give into the lows Surrender Whether I’m on top or climbing from below Surrender Take a deep breath tomorrow I will know Surrender I say surrender yeah Legs are tired but I keep running Heart is so heavy I keep singing Cos I live oh I live for the Cos I live oh I live for the good vibrations yeah [CHORUS] Why must I feel this way When I know just who I am I just want to chill all day But anxiety demands I keep Runnin away Runnin away Runnin away Runnin away Runnin away Runnin away Runnin away I will see my dreams some day My flag is in the sand I will see my dreams one day They’re already who I am patience is the only way Now I understand [CHORUS]

Go My Way 03:07
Go My Way Carefree I need to keep my spirits high While I walk So I step back and look at everything My soul starts to sing Day by day Go my way Keep the faith Go my way All the crazy things All the crazy things we do for love Love All the crazy things All the crazy things we do for love Love I sit and wonder ‘bout the time it takes To make our dreams come true But I don’t sweat it I am down to ride Breathe enjoy the view Day by day Go my way Keep the faith Go my way Keep the faith Go my way All the crazy things all the crazy things we do for love Love All the crazy things all the crazy things we do for love Love Never sway This path I know it never ends Here to say It’s a waste to pretend Love is forgiving demanding Joy and pain never end Fast like a shooting star Don’t know where I am landing know All I know is believing This is bigger than me
And I can’t control what I do for love Day by day Go my way Keep the faith Go my way Keep the faith Go my way

about

Here we are at mile marker 30 and the road stretches on, forever without me, but for a long while with me if I am lucky. This is an exciting departure for me in terms of the style of music. Instead of a full band I am experimenting with the help of my fantastic drummer Rodney Hyder. If you have been following my streaming journey during these crazy times I think you'll like it.
