This is my first full-length album, released in the summer of 2019, It's a collection of songs written over the course of a decade (and a half...), telling the stories of women from different walks of life, interspersed with numbers about relatable day-to-day situations. The set list was mostly chosen from songs that were frequently in my set list at that time, as well as a couple deeper cuts.

About half the album is simply guitar and voice (maybe with a touch of bass) to give the listener the closest idea of attending a Kyla Tilley live show. The other half I had friends over to sing back-up, a fiddler friend came, my drummer husband added some things. I play a handful of other instruments on this one as well. This album also includes my original version of the song Little, which was recorded by Canadian Idol finalist Jenny Gear.

I toured Eastern Canada with this album when it was released and was preparing for a tour of Southern Ontario to promote it further when the pandemic shut everything down. I didn't know about the internet back then (I was about to discover it!) So instead of pushing it online for the next year, my old-school brain said: Well, you can't tour with it, it's done. Get started on the next thing. So I wrote it off and got started on the next project. Ouf.
