Christine Lakeland - Fireworks 1989

Christine Lakeland,  the wife of JJ Cale,  is a guitarist and vocalist with his band. She’s been a vital part JJ Cale's music, and has played on most of his albums. She also played on the great  JJ Cale/Clapton  “Road to Escondido” album.  Unfortunately,  it's not easy to find out too much about her music.
According to her website, "Fireworks" was "Co-produced with Dennis Walker (Robert Cray), this entire album was cut and mixed in a matter of days by Bill Dashiell at Leon Haywood’s Sunnyside studio in Los Angeles again during a break from live gigs.  Eleven Lakeland originals plus a cover of an at-the-time-unreleased J.J. Cale song. “Dennis hired some musicians, I said hello and we began recording. I did bring in Tim Drummond one afternoon.” James Stewart stands out on keys.  Joe Sublett added sax and the truly special Francisco Aguabella, congas".
"Fireworks" is a very good album. The lady is an excellent guitarist, songwriter and vocalist,  and the album encompasses country, folk, soul, and electric blues. There is not a bad track on the album.  Christine has released three other albums, "Turn To Me", "Reckoning", and  "Live At Greenwood Ridge".
