SINGER/SONGWRITER JULISSA NEELY DRAWS FROM A LOVE OF AMERICAN ROOTS MUSIC WITH HER LATEST PROJECT THE SWEET BYE AND BYE
(SACRAMENTO, CA) NOVEMBER 11, 2008 — Drawing from a love of American roots music and stories from her grandfather’s Pentecostal camp meeting days, singer/songwriter Julissa Neely’s latest album, The Sweet Bye and Bye, features original hymns and focuses on Neely’s love of the Gospel and the story of Jesus. Highlighted by Neely’s rich vocals, which are reminiscent of Sarah Vaughn or Patsy Kline, The Sweet Bye and Bye can be found on iTunes, www.julissaneely.com and through The Artists Collective (www.theartistscollective.com).
Produced by Elijah Thompson, The Sweet Bye and Bye boasts a unique sound that certainly stands out from the rest of the crowd in Christian music. “If some of the songs sound like they could have been written 40 years ago or like an old time Pentecostal camp meeting, Iʼm glad,” shares Neely. The end result is a stunning collection of songs that reflect a mixture of American roots, blues and hits of jazz. Neely’s voice accents the album with a lovely texture that will certainly draw listeners in and present them with the hope of the Gospel.
