This collection of songs is very close to my heart and I'm thrilled to be able to share it with you. The entire process of writing and recording this project was a joy - from the great spirit, creativity, and supportiveness of the band working together, to so many people along the way who were willing to donate their talents, time, and care. Always having been so critical of most everything I've ever done, I was stunned to find that these songs even minister to me!
My hope is that they will uplift and encourage you the same way. My sincere thanks to you for listening. May your mountains move with ease.
God's very best...to you!

A Pittsburgh native, Erin Burkett has led her own band, The Mean Reds, since 1994 throughout her hometown and the northeastern United States. Strongly rooted in gospel music and the church, she has been performing since childhood … her writing and music have grown up with her.
Burkett began her musical journey in a straighter blues style, which has metamorphosed into her current hybrid of soul, gospel and rock/roots. Burkett’s first CD (self-titled) was comprised of nine original songs in a traditional blues style. Burkett’s new release, Long Walk Home, is a departure. The CD Contains nine carefully crafted originals that explore some livelier ground and revisit her childhood roots.
The Mean Reds have been busy growing loyal audiences in the tri-state area, playing concerts at numerous bars, clubs, festivals and television appearances. Burkett’s band has shared the stage with such legends as Savoy Brown, Koko Taylor and John Mayall.
