\tTerry Jo Stratton is unveiling her long-awaited first solo album, \u201cBitterSweet,\u201d at an album release party from 4-7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 29 at Middle Ridge Winery Tasting Gallery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tProduced and recorded by her TimbreWoods partner, Jeff Hixon, the album features seven original songs by Stratton, one original contribution from Hixon and several covers originally recorded by Bonnie Raitt, Chris Stapleton, Richard Thompson and Gillian Welch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tThe album features Stratton\u2019s vocals and guitar along with contributions by Hixon on guitars and mandolin, Jon Chardiet on pedal steel, Nora Germain on violin, Rick Zieff on keyboards, Joe Barile on drums with appearances by Lenny Hansell, Billy Moore, Mike Guston, Mikele Kreitner, and Gabby and Ronen Gordon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tThe album showcases Stratton\u2019s extraordinary vocals and songwriting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tOriginally from Orange County, Stratton has taken quite a journey to finally arrive in Idyllwild where her musical talents led to many solo performances prior to forging a musical partnership with Hixon, a songwriter-producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\t\u201cBitterSweet,\u201d is an archive of that journey and of the joy and heartache experienced along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\t\u201cCapturing the essence of Terry Jo\u2019s talents as a singer and songwriter was easy,\u201d says Hixon. \u201cActually finishing the project was the challenging part!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\t\u201cI am very fortunate to have met Jeff whose talents have contributed so much to my life,\u201d Stratton added. \u201cHis intuition and sensitivity to the music I have written has paved the way for future TimbreWoods projects. We are both pleased to have so much talent to draw from in our little town of Idyllwild.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album is available on CD, digital thumb drive, various streaming services and online at TimbreWoods.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
