Editorial Reviews
In the title song on her album, "The Long Refrain," Kathy Tugman expresses her thankfulness for all the singers "who will face the fact of the world." Kathys albums do just that and more as she searches for a way through the world and sings of the spirit that allows us to love and remember. Listening to Kathys records will give you a good idea of who she is and what is important to her. (She is partial to kindness and a real good rhythm section, and she has both.)
You will also hear a pleasing variety of music on Kathys albums, all in what is essentially a pop style but one that recognizes and draws on the broad range of music that goes to make up that style. There are piano vocals, guitar pop, country, blues and bluegrass and lots of songs of love for family, the preservation of the past and the power of the spirit.
Kathy lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she and her band have performed at the Riverbend Festival, at Miller Plaza, Rhythm & Brews and other venues around town. Her college training was in music, and she has continued that education diligently as she has absorbed a very broad range of influences. As she has expanded the secular reach of her original material found on her albums, she has maintained her ties to religious music, both as a choral singer and as a conductor of a hand bell choir. These two sides of Kathys musical self meet in the spirituality and sensibility she brings to her albums. Her music can swing, even rock, without losing touch with that search for a loving response to the world we know everyday.
Product Description
With You Always/Clear Skies In 1994, Kathy Tugman made her first album, "With You Always." The songs on the album had been written over several years, years during which Kathy was enmeshed in the rearing of four children, all in their teens. It was, as she says, "a time of chaos and peace, of angst and happiness, of searching and spiritual growth, and of great love." The writing of the songs and then the making of the album were ways for Kathy to express her gratitude for the grace that filled her heart in those years and to convey to others what she had learned about life during this period of intense living. The album was very well received, striking a resonant chord in the hearts of many listeners. In its original release, the album contained twelve songs and was available only on audio cassette.
Now, nine years later, Kathy has responded to numerous requests that she re-release "With You Always" on compact disc. But she has done more than that: the 2003 version contains seven new songs.
"With You Always/Clear Skies" remains a remarkable document of a heart capable of great love and a spirit that is open and quiet within. As mentioned earlier, Kathy originally undertook the work from an impulse of gratitude and a desire to share her thankful take on what can, at times, be the difficult and daunting task of making a family. That impulse and desire are as strong as ever, and they are given an even more forceful delivery with the addition of the "Clear Skies" set to the mix. Kathy's message, one that urges involvement and peaceful acceptance at the same time, is as vivid now as it was in the original release even more so, you will say, when you listen.
