If you are looking for a fresh spin on Americana and folk music, you need to check out the latest EP from Nancy Carey Johnson. Shine Your Light is a beautiful collection of four tracks that really shows off her incredible storytelling skills. You might already know her as an author or from her award-winning lyric “Birthday Cake For Breakfast”, but this new project proves she is a serious talent in the indie music scene.
The EP kicks off with some amazing variety. From the catchy and intriguing vibe of “Guano Loco” to the heartfelt depth of the title track “Shine Your Light”, there is a really nice balance here. She also covers great emotional ground with “She Let Him Go” and rounds things out nicely with “Take Me To The River”. What I love most about this record is how genuine it feels. It has this comforting, intimate warmth that makes you feel like you are sitting right in her Vermont home while she plays. Her songs mix honest reflections with a ton of heart, and you can tell she draws a lot of inspiration from her everyday life as a mother. It is the perfect soundtrack for a cozy afternoon.
