Tracy McNeil & The GoodLife - You Be The Lightning
Within the broad strokes of Americana music, Tracy McNeil & The GoodLife have refined their own palette, expanding on their distinctive alt-country roots, culminating in a body of work that many believe is the band’s finest to date.
You Be the Lightning is the fifth album for Tracy McNeil, and her band The GoodLife. Co-produced by Dan Parsons & Tracy McNeil, and recorded/engineered at The Aviary Recording Studios, lyrically, You Be the Lightning finds McNeil at her most uncompromised and raw. Weaving through themes of love – it’s death and rebirth, the quest for truth and finding the courage to follow your path. All 11 tracks strike immediately as a deeply personal, yet universally relatable series of affirmations; like a page stolen from a diary. Sonically, the album is equal parts grit and gloss, providing the perfect backdrop for songs exploring the dichotomy of the human condition.
