DEAR LIFE by Bill Mallonee

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©2004
Honestly?
This album (and it's sister album Friendly Fire) are severely under-rated, in my opinion. (Freindly Fire was written and recorded at the same time.)
The original plans were to make it a double CD and possibly a 3 album LP.
The depth of writing, the themes explored, and the spirit of the rendering of these songs shines. The production on these by Athens legend John Keane is frosting on the cake, as well.
It is my hope that folks will "re-visit" these; or, if they've never considered the value of these two albums, explore them for the first time. ~ Bill
