Joni Harms - After All

In this episode, we're featuring a 2004 album from Oregon cowgirl Joni Harms: "After All". Having written or co-written all 13 tracks on the album - and with some great Nashville studio talent to back her up - you can't help but feel that these songs are a snapshot of life in Joni's hometown of Canby, Oregon. With a sincerity and authenticity that's hard to come by unless you're the real deal - on this album Joni makes her way through familiar subject matter ranging from matrimonial celebrations in "A Cowboy Wedding", to dancing on a Saturday night in "West Texas Waltz", to life out on the ranch in "Cowboy Coffee". The songs are consistent with Joni Harms' entire career - wholesome and family oriented (so is Joni) - and with a warmth and genuineness of character that's as evident in person as it is in her music, this stellar release really was a pleasure to feature.
