'Always With Me' is the second release for barleycove.  These nine songs were written over the past four years during Laura's participation in an ongoing Songwriter's Series offered through the Peace Center, led by Edwin McCain and Maia Sharp.  It was there she also met songwriters, Lindsay Brazell and L.C. Branch.  L.C. Branch  collaborated on many songs with this project and also helped as producer.  Maia contributed her musical gifts on the songs, "See Through You" and "Lost Bird".  "Lost Bird" is a special song inspired by the life of Zintkala Nuni.  Laura was so moved after reading her biography to seek the blessing from the Lakota tribe to share her story through song and dedicate this album to the Lakota Nation.  John Martin engineered, mixed and mastered the album at Sit-N-Spin Studios in Greenville, SC. 

 
 'Release' was the first album created by barleycove in the spirit of the singer-songwriter, concept albums of the 70s. The album takes on the journey of an individual as an allegory for all of us in our struggle to understand relationships, ideologies, and life, in general. All songs leading to the concept of the importance to live in the present, "releasing" the past and the future, in order to find inner peace. There is no doubt that you will hear the echoes of the seventies' influences of Elton John, Billy Joel, The Eagles, Heart, and many more throughout the album. The album was recorded and engineered by up-and-coming producer, Mike Dove, of Yellow Mama Music in South Carolina. The mixing was completed by the talented, Mike Post, of the Pie and Tart Shop. The exceptional, Peter Malick, completed the mastering of the tracks for the band .The other tracks on the site are the demo songs recorded early on with Josh Kaler at Hello Telescope in Charleston, SC.
