HEART OF STONE REMASTERED
BORN AGAIN Remastered
Years ago when I first met Clarissa her immense talent was immediately clear.
An amazingly gifted and diverse singer, songwriter and painter, who like so many great artists had a self destructive streak and struggles with addiction.
I believe dealing with internal turmoil is part of what drives many great artists to create.
Over the years we have both been through many life changes - in Clarissa’s case finding sobriety, getting married, having a child, and most of all turning her life over to God as she understood him.
I was thrilled when she approached me about making an album about redemption, recovery and faith.
I recognized my own struggles in her struggles and in her surrender. These celtic flavored songs are like beautiful mystic upwellings rising up from her soul as she was born into a new life.
It’s healing music that envelopes and comforts you with grace, humility and beauty. A true work of art by a great artist I consider myself blessed to collaborate with. I hope you will be as deeply moved by this record as I was making it.
