Sunshine Drenchy Releases "Comin' Home"
First Anna O. CD in Six Years.

After a six-year hiatus of crisscrossing the country, soul-searching, woodshedding and woolgathering, Anna O. is releasing "Comin' Home" her long-awaited follow-up to her "Pink Heart, Blue Tattoo" CD. "Comin' Home" represents Anna's most personal and heartfelt cycle of songs to date. From the heart-wrenching beauty of "If I Could Only Get Free," to the infectiously tuneful "Kiss & Make Up," to the raw emotion of "The Leaving," Anna is never too shy to sing about all the highs and lows of life's journey, wherever it has taken her…and we get to come along for the ride.

For lyrics and song previews, please visit the Comin' Home page in the Music section of this website. Official release date for the CD is July 12...pre-order now from the Store page. The disc will also be available soon from CD Baby and Amazon, and for digital download on iTunes and other online vendors.
