New CD Release "Good As Gold"

As some of you may already know, we, Tamin' Thunder released our debut CD in December of 2011.  As the writer of all the lyrics of this album, I thought it time to let you know a little more about the songs.

The songs on this album were written from a women’s perspective on life, love, relationships.  Not just relationships between spouses, or sweethearts, but also between parent and child, you and friends.  When I write lyrics I have to make people understand that there IS a silver lining in every cloud!  But YOU have to either, find it, or make it happen!  But the content of my lyrics are not just for women, they are also helpful for men to understand a "Woman's" perspective a little better.

Some of the songs on this album were of people I’ve known, and experiences in their lives that I've witnessed. Not that their stories ended the exact way in which I wrote them, but as I believe they should. Yes, they are of "Real" people that I've met at one point in my life or another.  Some are of my own experiences (I'll keep you guessing on which ones), and some are just fun loving tunes for your enjoyment (Characters of my crazy imagination).

Now, to be perfectly honest, I'm totally new at this "Blogging" stuff, so I definitely need some interaction to get the ball rolling, so to speak.  So if you have bought our CD, please DO write in, and let me know which tune you liked or am curious about.  And if you haven't heard it yet, have a listen to our song clips below.

    Where does one begin..with Ilse's smile that could light up the world..or her awesome voice that has the power to drive you or melt you...or do both at the same time, as in when I listen to her sing "Like I do"..It is difficult to pick my favorites.."Like I do" is my number 1 fav but I also love "Black Moon Rising", "One Line" "Perfect Storm" Man love the whole CD. Tamin' Thunder is not just a great band but each and everyone of them has awesome talent and entertains like no other. Ilse, Mike, Lorne and Jimmy are the very best of the best, musicians and people! As Ilse's smile and voice lights up the stage, Tamin' Thunder lifts my heart and spirit and makes my life just that much better for knowing them.. Thank you my friends! I truly wish them the best of luck as each new day brings them closer to a bigger dream, along new paths and new friends and fans..and not too far away from us, your "angels"!
