Chely Wright - Lifted Off the Ground [CD]

Lifted Off the Ground may be Chely Wright's seventh album, but on a number of levels it feels and sounds like her first, revealing an artist who has undergone a dramatic artistic transformation, emerging as a singer/songwriter of the first order. But the new album would never have come to be were it not for an equally dramatic personal transformation, which she has candidly and painstakingly documented. Lifted Off the Ground will be released on Vanguard Records May 4, the same day Random House publishes Wright's autobiography, Like Me. Produced by Rodney Crowell, Lifted Off The Ground includes eleven songs all written by Wright except for one song which she co-wrote with Crowell.
