Hallelujah for Classic Country is Sandy’s debut solo album. Sandy would like to share the following thoughts with you.
“Though it I my image you will find on the cover and my voice you will hear in these recordings, I am simply a conduit for the music. Hallelujah for Classic Country represents a collaboration of a lifetime of people, places and events. It is part of my journey through life. The inkling to follow my musical heritage has been with me for many years. This album is a result of the confluence of being in the right place at the right time with the right people.”
