In her debut CD, Water Through Stone, Shantell Ogden sets an articulate stage for her own journey as a performing songwriter. Her pure alto voice complements introspective lyrics that reflect genuine experience.
The mid-tempo title track, “Water Through Stone,” is a summary of life’s journey “I was raised with a history / of blue collars deep roots / I’ve got years in the attic / that I never outgrew.” The gentle ballad “Stay” describes a powerful memory, “I found your old sweater, the one you left here last December / when the rain came and soaked us through / It’s like finding old love, it doesn’t fit but it’s soft to touch / it smells like rain, dripping with you.”
“Leaving You” captures a story of starting over in 60 words while “We Come Here” is an authentic view of both the faith and hypocrisy within a group of churchgoers. Shantell wrote six of the album’s seven songs, the only exception being “Where You Are” written by Derek Shampine.
The album features the work of some of Nashville’s finest session musicians (Danny Parks, Tommy Wells and John Vogt). It was produced by Jay Vern and recorded, mixed and mastered in his studio, Jay’s Place, on Music Row in Nashville.
