New Sunshine

I don’t think we’ve ever done a music review here on Mommin’ It Up, but there’s a first time for everything!

“New Sunshine,” a collection of original songs by Darrell Sallee, is my new favorite CD ever. It is amazing. I might be slightly biased, because get this – my dad co-wrote some of the songs. My dad is a song writer – who knew! I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Seriously, though, it’s been so much fun for me and my family to watch my dad go through this process with Darrell, and we all absolutely love the music. My kids know all the words to every song, and years and years from now, their kids will too. As my dad says about my outstanding musical taste, it’s their legacy.

Here’s Sammy doing his rendition of “A River Washing.”

The real version is even better – hard to imagine, I know.

Here’s what people are saying about the album:

“An amazing collection of original songs and music. Masterfully arranged music and lyrics speak to the humanity in us all. Moving and insightful commentary on life, love and the happiness that comes from ‘New Sunshine’. Plus it downright ROCKS.”

“To simply say ‘Wow, this is a good album!’ doesn’t quite do justice to the finished product. It’s much more than a new CD ‘from a friend of mine’ or ‘some guy I know’. It’s the culmination of a life’s passion with music and a work that speaks to a life’s journey.”

“Darrell’s writing has matured like fine wine and the collaboration with Dan Burns has created some magic alchemy.”

How can you add this incredible music to your collection? I thought you’d never ask.

Each song and the album are available for purchase on CDBaby.com, Facebook’s music store (which I didn’t even know was a thing), and iTunes. So, go buy it! Then Darrell and my dad will get rich and famous and you can say you knew them when. My inheritance is riding on this, people.
