The cds promotional single, “1506 McCrary St”, is an infectious song about D Lorene’s child hood. Take a smooth journey with her as she remembers where she came from.
The title song “Living Life on The Limit” Lets you know that this album is more than just about creating a mood. “Time For a real Big Change”, with its strong melody and gospel sounding choir pushes for a positive change in this world in which we live.
“Keep The Faith” (written by Eli Anderson) is a jazzy bluesy ballad produced with vocals piano and guitar to give it an unplugged feel.
In the same vein with love as its theme.” It’s You Who I Believe” is a mid tempo blues Jam that goes back to the old school style and flavor.
The Orchestra mix of “Me in You”, (written by Horst Lietz and Gorden Bonnie Jo,) takes flight and brings you along. This is a wonderful love song.
“A Friend Is a Friend “, written by a friend on mine Max Hughes, Is about not being afraid to admit you were wrong. The Melody and the hook lines are strong and you will definitely get the message.
Inspiration and hope is what “Things Change”, is all about. (Written by Sam Corley III)
