Artist description Laurel incorporates heartful lyrics and driving acoustic guitar, along with musicians contributing classical harp (Melinda Johnson) and electric cello (Jami Sieber) to add a unique flavor to this collection of music. It was a blessing to have Nancy Wilson (of Heart) producing the songs, singing harmonies, and playing guitars, autoharp, and more, and the wizardry of Scott Olson.
