McCracken, the Nashville-based independent singer/songwriter who's newest release, "Desire Like Dynamite", is garnering her quite a bit of positive attention. McCracken's style is one part folk music, one part gospel, a little part pop, with a bit of country flair thrown in for good measure, almost a blending if you will of all of the fundamentals of American music and somehow manages to mix together it with a seamless effort that makes an amazing and powerful album.
McCracken lists her own personal musical influences as Joni Mitchell, David Gray, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, and with influences as diverse as that, it's no surprise that McCracken's music is just as diverse.
As a whole, the album itself is a very deep and very personal effort. The type of songs that any listener can relate to, associate with and even feel like they are being spoken too on a level that seems almost direct. Which actually makes some type of sense, McCracken recently said of the album that, "Desire Like Dynamite" is exploring the themes of desire at the most basic human level," explains McCracken. "When you run after something, when you really want something, that can be a good and noble thing, or it can be self-centered. And at some point, your desire is going to intersect with somebody else's, and that's where relationships come into play. The whole album is about exploring the human story by way of that theme."
