about

Seventeen years ago, I was living in my Ozarks cabin, writing music and touring. A friend of mine was working on a project n Dallas and I was lucky enough to get to know his producer, Rush Beesley. The time, focus, imagination, skill, heart, and sweat that Rush and his engineer/assistant producer put into this was astounding. All these years later, you can hear it... that part of magic that's timeless. – Crow Johnson Evans, July 13, 1999

From the original album notes:
"...Some of her inspiration is born out of the solitude of a simple mountain home in Northwest Arkansas. Some of her creations are developed on the road. Regardless of their source, Crow has mastered the art of spiining straw into silk. Coined by producer, Rush Beesley, the album's title, PICTURE THE THOUGHT, underlies the very evolution of "Crowmusic." Herein is a brand of music that sticks solidly to the heart and soul. Beesley's unprecedented approach to music is a consummate joy ride... a "Rush" you'll want to xperience over and over again. Crow Johnson will enchant you into a state of peace. Here is a work of art that is lyrically profound, musically brilliant and unselfishly given...just Picture the Thought." – Lon WIlder, 1983
