“Rogue River”, New Album/EP is Out!
“Hurricane”, the first single on Judy’s album, tells a story about a hurricane brewing, even when life seems alright. Upon reflection, the warnings signs were present and there’s no choice but to make a change before disaster strikes. “Set You Free”, the second single released, is a rock ballad that illustrates the heartfelt journey of love and difficult action of letting go. The title track mid way through the album, “Rogue River Blues” will have you singing along and tapping your foot while singing about losing a lover. “Going to the River” and “Long Time Coming” are about Judy’s experience with grief and anxiety. The third single and final song on the album, “One Way Ticket”, is a lively and fun trop rock tune about starting over. The full album/EP was released in September 2024.
Drawing listeners into a world where every note has meaning and every melody tells a story, Judy translates personal experiences into universally relatable tunes, with themes of love, loss, and the human condition.
“Chasing Trains”, Album Review from Amazon
“Running Into Greatness: Chasing Trains, the engaging album by Judy Haines, is worth your money and your time. An accomplished song cycle of love, lost and found, it fits neatly among Carole King’s Tapestry, early Heart, Bruce Hornsby’s The Way It Is, and Sarah McLachlan’s Solace. But it’s more danceable. Trains is a dozen well-crafted, piano-based songs that sublimely meld adult contemporary, blues, gospel, and folk-rock in a way that would make the Brill Building raise an eyebrow.”
