Martha L Healy - Keep The Flame Alight
LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Keep The Flame Alight’ - Martha L Healy
Our LCM featured track today is the wonderful second single and title track from the album by Scottish Singer-Songwriter, Martha. It was produced by David Spicher and features Eamon McLoughlin on Fiddle; Todd Lombardo and Bill Cooley on guitars, Rory Hoffman on keys, David Spicher on bass and harmonies and Dave Racine on drums & percussion.
The album was written and recorded in Nashville and sees her develop her personal songwriting voice whilst remaining true to the musical influences of her childhood. Growing up, she was raised on a diet of Americana music, before she knew what that even meant. The Eagles, The Traveling Wilburys and folk heroes, The Dubliners were all staples of the Healy family vinyl collection. The collection also included music by Patsy Cline, Carole King and anything remotely Motown.
‘Keep The Flame Alight’ is an album recorded in Nashville, but influenced by Martha's Celtic roots. Through a mix of personal insight and story songs, she provides a fresh take on some classic themes: the need to leave somewhere to help find your place in the world; the ache of an unfulfilled love; the complexity of family and friendships and the need to live your own dreams. She also explores how being a woman in the 21st century is not without its fair share of pressures and demands.
