Jill Riley grew up in rural Texas, often sitting on the floor in front of the stereo console binging on her mother's record collection. A neighbor and best friend of her mother's was a singer/songwriter who played guitar. She would add to this record collection by bringing stacks of Laurel Canyon artists like Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, and Carley Simon. Jill's mother, whose father was a World War II veteran suffering from severe PTSD, later lost her husband to a car accident while pregnant with Jill. She was told that she had also miscarried Jill. Later she would lose a son, Jill's younger brother, to yet another tragic car accident. Life seemed to be a relentless spinning wheel of chaos and trauma. Generational trauma would become an unavoidable effect, and Jill would inevitably inherit her portion, which often mars relational health. Jill loves to turn the focus to the "ever-present, overcoming healing power of God she has found in it all." This record, influenced by the Laurel Canyon sounds and recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, reflects Jill's deepest dive into the sometimes difficult matters of love and relationships in this fallen world, which Jill has learned requires a constant Return to Love in finding your way through to the other side.

“If you are truly talented...it is never going to go away. It's never going to leave you alone. So find out who you are, what you have to say, translate it to music and find the people who need to hear it.”
