FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The singer and songwriter of pop music
on acoustic guitar known as Sally Joy Bouska has released three new
full-length LPs, each belonging to her “Sally Sings” series of
albums. Her three new records are titled, “Life's Stories,”
“Spiritual Sound” and “Young Christian Heart,” respectively.
Each of them was published independently in August of 2013. A warm,
friendly and uplifting trio of records, these newest additions to the
“Sally Sings” series by Bouska represent a true, contemporary
American style not often heard overseas, and a collection of
Christian music that is in many ways more genuine than much which
comes from the mainstream gospel music industry today.
Bouska's sound is raw, warm and
natural, her guitar forming a flowing accompaniment to her unadorned
and lilting voice. Her tone evokes the best folk musicians of the
1960s and '70s. Her songwriting style is not unlike that of Bobby
Gentry (“Ode to Billie Joe”), and her clarion vocal timbre is
reminiscent of Helen Reddy (“Angie Baby”). The result is a subtly
textured sound so consistently good that it reminds the listener, it
takes exactly one talented person to make great music. The lavish
recording studios of the 21st century can do no better.
Bouska got her start in music as early
as is possible. It has been a formative force in her character and
personal history.
“I have sung with my family since I
was a child,” she writes. “Then I went to school and got a degree
in music and became a music teacher. Music has been a part of me for
my entire life.”
She cites as main artistic influences many of the best American musicals, including “The Sound of Music,” “Cinderella,” “Wicked,” “Oklahoma,” and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” However, she places particular emphasis on more traditional sources of musical inspiration.

“I have been influenced by the great
classical composers,” she writes, “and singer/songwriters such as
Simon and Garfunkel, in particular their song, 'The Sound of
Silence.'”
Bouska has written over 100 original
songs and is still teaching. She frequently rewards classes who
complete their work in a timely manner by sharing one of her songs.
The “Sally Sings” series by Sally
Joy Bouska, including “Life's Stories,” “Spiritual Sound” and
“Young Christian Heart,” are available online worldwide.
