With musical polyglot Josh Kaufman (whose credits range from ’s Folklore to the Grammy-nominated Bonny Light Horseman and Bob Weir) producing and contributing on piano, guitar, and , the record brings Helm’s powerful, emotive vocals to the forefront of the album. The songs themselves reflect Helm’s inner strength and personal growth. “Breathing,” the first single, sets the tone as a soulful statement of survival. “Are We Running Out of Love,” a freak-folk drone in the hands of Swedish TRACK LISTING guitarist and songwriter Daniel Norgren, becomes an acoustic, urgent plea. 1. VERSE 23 Throughout the record, Helm sings stories of life’s relentlessness. But like she extrapolates from “Verse 23,” the most productive, and 2.
