Cindy Bullens’ CD is a stark and powerful piece about tragedy. The tragedy in
question is the death of her daughter, Jessie. Jessie died of cancer, and over
two years ten songs came out to deal with the loss. Joining Bullens are an
assortment of talented musicians. George Marinelli plays electric guitar, David
Santos plays bass, and David Kemper on drums. Bullens is also joined by everyone
from Bonnie Raitt to Bryan Adams.
Bullens vocals are sincere and strong. Her lyrics are painfully honest. Among
the best songs on the CD are “The Lights of Paris” about being overwhelmed
with loss even in the city of lights, and “Boxing with God” about the
struggle about surviving day to day. The most powerful song on the CD is “As
Long As You Love (Scarlet Wings)” which has Bullens talking to her daughter.
This song is highlighted by the fact that it includes Bullens surviving
daughter, Reid, on vocals. The CD ends with “Better Than I’ve Ever Been”
which pushes for hope for both Bullens and the listener.
Somewhere Between Heaven and Earth is a daring project. It is powerful, and
almost too much so. Bullens shares a deep part of her soul in this CD. Although
the journey is hard, the listener is invited in.
