Blues, Light Jazz...a Rat Pack/Memphis fusion project that celebrates the Golden Age of American Music as well as the Spiritual Journey of the Soul. Biographical in nature, these songs tell the story of Ann's years of searching, of surviving, and of finding peace....in the Spirit of God.LYRICS & ARTIST NOTES FOR THIS CD - READ BELOW OR GO TO WEBSITE: www.annwolfmusic.orgTrack 1 -"Caught Up In His Love": Says Ann,"Sparkling with the sounds of Light Jazz, this song speaks of the Rapture of God's Love which we can experience today, here and now... and any time we connect via His Spirit. Regardless of where we might stand on doctrines about"The Rapture"...the Resurrection Power is alive within us. To rest in that Spirit is to be with Christ now and always."

Wolf - c 2012 - BMITrack 3 -"Tears They Wash Me Clean": Says Ann,"The way out of co-dependency & the anguish that ill-begotten relationships can produce, is made smoother with the Mercy & Grace of God offering strength, vision, and peace."Songwriters: Songwriter: Ann M. Wolf - c 2012 - BMITrack 4 -"It Don't Get Better Than That": Says Ann," This song celebrates healthy relationships & the process of finding the one to whom we can experience being"equally yoked," via a common connection to the Spirit of God. Though this song shows some humor, it is not a testimony to a bad breakup, but rather the lyrics speak to the standard of love that we all can aspire to by the Mercy & Grace of God."Songwriter: Ann M. Wolf - c 2012 - BMITrack 5 -"So Full a' Tears": Says Ann,"A little bio-sketch done in"Blues," smoky, intense, raw, & written & sung from the gut for those who have"been there" or for those who pray, minister, and intercede for others who are struggling. Through much of my early years, two big challenges haunted me: one with regard to the suffering in this world & my feelings of frustration & helplessness in trying to stop even a small portion of the misery that so many humans find themselves enduring. My second challenge was discovering how rocky the journey can be on the road to finding a life-partner who would seek God and His Ways, and who would therefore be kind and willing to grow spiritually.The Conclusion of the song tells of my encounter with the Holy Spirit which brought me the comfort and peace I had been reaching for in spite of not having all the answers of life yet; the lyrics find me still weeping, but from relief upon experiencing that amazing place that our soul goes to when we encounter the compassion of Jesus Christ."Songwriters: Songwriter: Ann M. Wolf - c 2012 - BMITrack 6 -"The One Who Really Knows Me": Ann says,"True friendship with Christ is a breath away...no matter what else the world sees in us...or doesn't see...We can set our sights high and know, that as we connect with our Shepherd via His Spirit, we know that His Love is always with us and we are already home."Songwriters: Songwriters: Songwriter: Ann M. Wolf - c 2012 - BMITrack 7 -"In His Arms": Ann says,"The soul finds peace & safety upon connecting with Christ within. After receiving the Mercy of God and after connecting with His Spirit, we find ourselves in the"gestation place" of growth, as the soul moves from"flesh-natured" to"spiritual" in nature. So, no matter what we have been through or what we believe our"mistakes" may have been, we are new upon encountering"Christ" & His Love. Looking into the mirror of the Spirit of God, what reflects back to us is our true identity as seen through the God's eyes of compassion & mercy."Songwriter: Ann M. Wolf - c 2012 - BMITrack 8 -"Jesus Got Me Walkin' a Straight Line": Ann says,"Joyful Jazz sounds, straight out of American Music roots of the early 1900s...yet with a message relevant today...The"Spirit of God" renews our heart and soul which begins to manifest as changes in appetites, in character, and ultimately resulting in the development of"Fruit of the Spirit"....Songwriter: Ann M. Wolf - c 2012 - BMITrack 9 -"You & Only You": Says Ann,"This song began many years ago as a prayer I used to sing acapella during devotional time. Today, in sharing this message with folks around the world, the song has expanded into a fresh Latino dance tune which brings to life a celebration of the divine guidance that is ever present for those who seek the Spirit..."Songwriter: Ann M. Wolf - c 2012 - BMITrack 10 -"Smile": Says Ann,"A classic inspirational song, one that I grew up singing and am so delighted to include on this album today..."Script writer: Composed by: CHARLES CHAPLIN, JOHN TURNER, GEOFFREY PARSONS Publishers: Bourne Co.Track 11 -"You'll Never Walk Alone": Says Ann,"I adopted this song many years ago for it's inspirational value; but I chose to include it on this CD in honor of those amazing folks who come out on two, three, four or 18 wheels to comfort and protect families who are going through some of their most difficult days as they lay to rest their fallen loved ones who have served the cause of Freedom or who have perished in the line of duty. This song also goes out to all those angels & volunteers who offer loving support to others who are facing loss, illness, and devastation.The additional prayer you see below the song lyrics is one I have been known to sing from time to time, on the second"go around" of this song; I penned those words in a moment of inspiration, however the publisher did not allow me to include my original second verse in the recording. Here, however, I can share this with you, and we can pray the words together."Songwriters: R. Rogers/O.
