Dana Fuchs - Love Lives On was produced by Executive Producers Gren Schoch and Kevin Mackall and Associate Producer Sam Green, and released on Dana Fuchs' own label, Get Along Records.

All songs, excepting two killer covers, Ring of Fire written by June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore, and Otis Redding's Nobody's Fault But Mine, were written by Dana Fuchs and Jon Diamond. Dana and Jon share writing credits with Scott Sharrard on Ready To Rise, Same Sunlight, Faithful Sinner, and Love Lives On, and share writing credits with David Gelman and Scott Sharrard on Fight My Way. All lyrics by Dana Fuchs.

This exceptional 13-track release features Dana's emotionally charged storytelling lyrics that captivate the listener and enchant with her powerful voice that has endeared her to long-time fans as well as first-time listeners. Combined with well-crafted instrumentals that complement Dana's lyrics, Love Lives On,is about as good as it gets.

The release opens with Backstreet Baby, a song with catchy lyrics and horns up front and Dana's powerful vocals that kick the release into high gear, then Dana and the band do justice to the Otis Redding (1941-1967) song, Nobody's Fault But Mine.

Dana's own Callin' Angels has an interesting backstory. In a relatively short period of time, Dana lost her sister, 2 brothers, her dad, and her mom. She honors them with a verse for each of them in this heartfelt song that weaves in the organ and the horns to create a winning combination.

Next in the playlist is Sittin' On, and by this time in the listening I was thinking that it could not get much finer, and then along comes Love Lives On. Every time I listen to the title track Love Lives On, it brings tears to my eyes but in a good way, it is a song for anyone who has ever lost someone near and dear to them, and how even though they may be gone, their love will continue in our hearts, and that life must go on. Dana wrote this touching song with its break-your-heart lyrics for her mother as she was dying, and Dana was expecting her son, Aidan. 

The next track, Sad Solution, is a soulful and poignant song, then Dana takes it nice and slow on Faithful Sinner, a song she wrote for her dad, where its organ opening gives it an almost hymn-like feel. The release gets funky with the track, Sedative, where double horns set the groove.

 

Ready To Rise, originally the work-in-progress name for the album, is another fabulous song on the release. Its lyrics empower and are about boldly moving away from sadness and sorrow and being ready to rise above that and move forward. The release continues with Fight My Way with its acoustic guitar opening, then takes it nice and slow on the song, Battle Lines.

 

Same Sunlight picks up the pace with powerful horns, catchy lyrics, and is a sassy, upbeat, romp of a song. Dana and the band close with a song for her dad who was a huge Johnny Cash fan, with Ring Of Fire, written by Johnny Cash's wife, June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore. The arranging and Dana vocals' give this song extra poignancy, and Dana plays acoustic guitar on this track.

 

A new release, her own record label: Get Along Records, a long tour through the United States, Canada, and Europe, and Dana Fuchs has never sounded better.

 

Until next time, keep enjoying the music!
