So....sorry for the self promotion. BUT, this is a sweet little review of the new album I wanted to share by Spencer Sutherland with "IN utah this week":
"I was hoping that with a name like Sarah Sample, the Utah native would be some killer club DJ. She's not. Though the acoustic folk of "Born to Fly" couldn't be further removed from the dancehall, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Sample's strummy-strum guitar and vocal tunes become much bigger thanks to the help of producer Scott Wiley. The tracks were recorded live, with Sample backed by nine other musicians (including most of Salt Lake City's Atherton.) The result is a collection of songs that feel organic and complete, without sounding overdone.
The EP begins with the light hearted title track sing-along before becoming more somber. Sample's voice is completed nicely by the subtle hints of piano and banjo on the very subdued "Mercy Me." There are brilliant harmonies throughout, but the most rewarding is when Sample duets with Dustin Christensen on "Get Caught." This is a great album for a Sunday afternoon.

You up for a roomie reunion late this summer?
Makes me want to fly, too. Da, da, da, da. That song just reverberates in my mind and makes me happy. Sage advice in the lyrics, too.
My second favorite is "Used to You." You are amazing.
