She\u2019s back with a new album entitled 'Safe in the Arms of Time,' which takes a unique look at love, life and relationships. The songs on the album reflect the maturity of someone who has already gone through the highs and lows of love and is now experiencing what the emotion is like at this stage of her life. Coolidge gives voice to the realization that relationships and romance don\u2019t end after you reach a certain age, but that they are filtered through years of experiences. Legendary Delta blues musician Keb Mo is featured on the album. He co-wrote two of the songs and sings a duet with Coolidge on \u201cWalking on Water.\u201d The album was produced by Ross Hogarth and is on Blue \u011alan Records, a company quietly gaining a reputation as an artists\u2019 label, because of the way it embraces performers of all ages and genres. Coolidge says Blue \u011alan reminds her of her days at A&M Records, when Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss were running the independent label as an artist friendly, family company. Included in the review is a brief look at Coolidge\u2019s career in the 70s and 80s. ","author_name":"Robert Neil Speaks with...","author_url":"http:\/\/www.OandFStudios.com","html":"
