Feeling Under I went down - I was feeling under I looked around - I heard the thunder Oh Lord I tried - but I could not see I saw my feet – they carried me no more My soul did bleed – my blood upon the floor Oh Lord I tried - but I could not see I went down - I was feeling under I looked around - I felt the thunder Oh Lord I tried - but I could not see

I Went Down Easy I Went Down Easy Aint going back down no more – no more I been worried about my lovin’ As I walked right out the door I climbed that mountain I climbed so high I could fly As I look back at where I have been No I aint going back there again I once fell to pieces I fell so hard that I cried – and cried But I learned what I had to learn Thank God I didn’t die

Something’s Going On Something going on here – I can’t find the light. Something going on here – the feeling just aint right. I’m going down to the river – I’m gonna… wash away - wash away - all my fears. Something going on here – it’s making me afraid. Something going on here – it’s taking me away. I’m going down to the river – I’m gonna… wash away - wash away - all my tears. I wanna know you – I wanna feel inside – I wanna show you – Got nothing left to hide. Something going on here – I find it hard to breathe. Something going on here – I know it’s time to leave. I’m going down to the river – I’m gonna… wash away - wash away - all my fears. Something going on here – no longer can I run. Something going on here – it’s time to have some fun. I’m going down to the river – I’m gonna… wash away - wash away - all my tears. Lead Break I wanna know you – I wanna feel inside – I wanna show you – Got nothing left to hide.

Everybody Needs A Change People are fightin’ all around the world – Killin’ each other and we don’t know why – What’s it gonna take to ever make us see - Look at what it takes to even make us cry – Everybody needs a change – No one has to stay the same – What’s been wrong can be right - Even if it takes a fight -

Risin’ Sun I need a storm to keep riden – I need the rain just to feel – I need the wind to keep moving – So I can find something real – Think about me - in the risen sun Think about me - when the day is done I need some truth to believe in – I need some love just to heal – I need the sun to start shining – So I can find something real – Think about me - in the risen sun Think about me - when the day is done Now maybe you see me crying – All of my tears for you – Cause somewhere inside you’re dying – From all the you put me through – Think about me - in the risen sun Think about me - when the day is done Think about me - in the risen sun Think about me - when the day is done

Workin’ Hard Woman I got no – rings on my fingers I got no – bells on my toes I’m just a -- workin’ hard woman – And I -- know what I know – I don’t know why – Honey I do those things I do I’m just a workin’ hard woman – Tryin’ to make a fool outta you I got no – blood in my pockets I got no – blood on my hands I’m just a workin’ hard woman – And I -- know who I know – I’ve been broken hearted – I’ve been left for dead – I’ve been walkin’ in circles – from this – Life that I’ve lead I got no – rings on my fingers I got no – bells on my toes I’m just a workin’ hard woman – And I -- know who I know –

about

Sweet Spirit rocks and rolls across blues, funk, hip hop and straight up, in-your-face rock. Kelly picks up the tempo on this album, taking inspiration from the Black Keys, R.L. Burnside, and The White Stripes, exploding with a raw yet well-honed calculation. Dishing up epic grooves and dirty, crunchy guitar riffs, the 10-track album is a concise set of original songs throbbing with brutish blues guitar and gritty swagger for foot-stomping rockers. Pure vintage guitar tone, monster bass lines, and John Bonham-style drumming are augmented with Kelly's gravel-studded vocals. Kelly sings with an authority that matches her down-and-dirty guitar grumble. Duane Lundy, who specializes in organic, stripped-down styles, produced and engineered the album. Featuring Freekbass on bass guitar, Robby Cosenza on drums, and Bernie Worrell lending a shot of tasty keys, Sweet Spirit packs a knock-out punch.
