K.C. Clifford: Buy

Recorded live at The Blue Door in Oklahoma City on Feb. 2nd, 2008, Pockets Full of Hope is an intimate, acoustic offering of songs in the raw. With un-edited guitar and vocal performances that will make you feel like you are sitting on the front row, Pockets champions the songs themselves and the craft of the one who created them. Always the confessional songwriter, KC gives us an up close and personal glimpse into the mind, meaning, and musings behind the music.

I am so very proud of my new record, "Teeth-marks on My Tongue." I feel like most of the songs on this album wrote me, wrote my life, not vice versa. The songs here reflect the joy of this season of my life- I am a newlywed and I get to learn more and more about choosing to love someone every single day, in all the daily moments, the tough days and the wahoo! glimpses of life's beauty. This record also speaks of loss and the depths of grief and the battle for finding and loving the person I was made to be- flaws and all. I wanted to push my own musical envelope on "Teeth-marks" by introducing full-band arrangements, a departure from my first record's grassroots acoustic feel. The production of this project sits firmly in the world of pop, while keeping true to the singer/songwriter sensibilities I am known for. I hope you will take a listen and then take a chance and buy a copy of "Teeth-marks" to add a bit of my world to yours.

Times Like These was K.C.'s debut CD released in 2000. Recorded in a studio located in the basement of a friends home in Nashville, it captures the grassroots nature of where her career was at that time. The arrangements on this record are all acoustic- guitar, percussion, cello, mandolin and voices weave around the always central lyrics. With fan favorites like "Worth More than a Glance", "Emily", and "Call Me Baby", "Times Like These" is full of heart and substance.
