HEAD TO HEART

Rusty Reid

Head to Heart is Rusty's "comeback" release, after over a decade of losing musical energy. As the new songs flowed, beginning in 2015, on to notebooks and thence to the digital audio workstation in his home studio, a remarkable album slowly emerged with an identity like few other singular collections of songs. This is certainly one of American popular music's most radical, revolutionary albums. With a running time of 78 minutes (the maximum for a standard CD), comprised of 15 full songs (and three snippets), Head to Heart is at once a delineation of a profoundly beautiful and deeply spiritual worldview, combined with a frontal assault on those hoary old traditions and institutions that thwart "our best chance to thrive." All told, it is a call for grand human cultural evolution. A revolutionary manifesto in song!
