She brings a new energy to rock and roll," says GRAMMY® winning producer KC Porter of singer-songwriter Tracy Lyons, whose new album -- titled "I Will" -- he just produced. "Her sweetness, her gentle spirit, creates a tone that penetrates deep into your soul," continues Porter, "like a soft storm of sorts. There's so much emotion, yet with a beautiful and kind delivery."

Following several years honing her skills living and working in Northern California, the now Los Angeles-based Lyons says -- in her musical, Irish-lilted voice, "The more naked you are with your emotions, the more you can connect with other people." Throughout "I Will," that intense connection is visceral on stand-out tracks including the first single "Don't You Know" (serviced to AAA radio), title track "I Will" and "Save Me," the last dealing with Lyons' health issues related to airborne toxins, which have inspired her to become an environmental activist.

"I Will" is slated for release July 25th on Mythic Records and West 57th Street Entertainment, the latter company recently launched by music industry veterans Mason Munoz and Louis Levin, with offices in New York City and Weston, CT. Distribution will be through top independent music distributor Alternative Distribution Alliance (ADA). The ten-song disc features tracks produced by KC Porter as well as ones by Canadian Juno Award winner Greg Kavanagh, and was mixed by venerable GRAMMY winning engineer Ed Cherney.

"I Will" follows up her first album "Surrender," released in 2002 on Vapor Records, about which Billboard Magazine wrote, "With the impressive debut "Surrender," singer/tunesmith Tracy Lyons proves that she has a knack for wrapping strong words in a velvet glove." That CD's single "Love Hurts" drew national radio attention, and led to concert gigs opening for Kenny Loggins, Dave Mason, Shawn Colvin and Los Lonely Boys, among other artists, and the lead slot on the "green"-themed summer 2004 tour SHOW: The Renewable Hydrogen Roadshow, which played major festivals throughout California.

Part of the fourth generation of an illustrious Irish clan of musical/theatrical performers, Tracy's upbringing includes years spent in Northern Ireland where her family hails from, and in an Irish expatriate community outside Toronto, Canada. Her songcraft grew out of her love of writing poetry, which she pursued from an early age. Recently, Lyons commented that "The poetry I wrote, for whatever reason, never seemed complete. When I took it to the piano and started plunking away, I thought, 'This makes sense,' and it all started to evolve." Her artistry really came into focus when she eventually started strumming her creations -- "Writing on a guitar is a little freer for me," says Tracy. "It's more driving, there's a different energy."

That energy has been building steadily, and, with a voice and spirit that is both intimate and assertive, brings on the powerful "soft storm" of Tracy Lyon's new album "I Will."
