I'm glad I've survived the industry and its changes, that I can still make a living playing shows and making records. And whenever I start to think maybe I shouldn't do this, I try to remember that it's no accident that I've written 150 songs, and people are still coming to shows. I'll just keep doing this until I'm not doing it anymore." states Melissa. Listening to the tracks on her new release, brings on that familiar emotion and passion that Ferrick has always brought to her fans.
