To quote and sincerely thank John Apice for his recent reviews:
“The CD has a pristine sound from the Atmos/Spatial Audio application. I hear it. I’m from the generation that heard good mono presence, stereo hi-fi, Quadrophonic surround with Dolby & Beta Hi-fi with ambient sound. Many applications that were impressive & are now relegated to the dust heap. Hopefully, Atmos may catch. It does add a nice warmth to the reproduction.”
“Debra Lyn always avoids the traps of clichés. Her lyrics have a sense of poignancy, and her voice shines through the words superbly. The diamonds among the zirconias are the folky-country-inflected ‘Believe’ and ‘Drunken Fool’—both imaginative and where Debra Lyn should be. The word excellent sums it up.”

About Kenny Cetera
After relocating to the greater Los Angeles area in the early ‘80s, Kenny Cetera was recruited to add background vocals on Chicago’s multiplatinum record, Chicago 17, which was the second in a row of Chicago’s major comeback records, both produced by David Foster. Alongside his brother Peter, Bill Champlin, Robert Lamm, and others, Kenny recorded on four of the ten songs on the album, including the singles “Stay the Night,” “Along Comes a Woman,” “Prima Donna,” and the #1 single, “You’re the Inspiration.”

Ryan Raveis: “Untorn”
• Best Americana Performance.
• Best American Roots Song
Ryan Raveis is a singer-songwriter and trained Berklee guitarist. With an ability to craft heartfelt melodies, Ryan’s music resonates with authenticity and emotional depth, capturing the essence of his experiences and observations. His thoughtful lyrics often reflect introspective themes and universal truths, drawing listeners into a contemplative and immersive musical journey.
“Untorn” is a heartfelt ballad exploring the enduring connection between two souls. Through evocative verses, it narrates their journey, discovering a love that is eternal, one that persists through time and change. The chorus emphasizes this connection’s transformative power, illuminating the narrator’s life and purpose. The word “untorn” takes on different meanings as the song unfolds; from the decision to pursue love over friendship, to embracing a more literal meaning that underscores a more spiritual bond, one that remains unbroken, forever untorn.
