The pandemic might have silenced the music scene, shuttered the live circuit and divided artists from their fans, but with Heart Of Fire, Texas’s favorite new gunslinger Ally Venable is coming off the ropes swinging.
Defying dark times and rolling up the amps, this fourth release from the acclaimed singer-songwriter is a record to rattle your speakers and signpost better times ahead. “My vision was to really spread a positive message of love,” says Venable. “The world needs that right now.” Working at the Bessie Blue Studio in Stantonville, Tennessee last February, the album finds Venable laser-focused on her songcraft, challenging herself to write with unguarded honesty.
