The Ring
Produced by Lloyd Maines & Terri Hendrix

Terri Hendrix plays innovative yet rootsy Texas music with a breezy, joyful ease. On her latest release The Ring, the San Antonio native’s trademark Rickie Lee Jones-meets-Emmylou Harris voice and her catch, literate lyrics are at their best. From the bright harmonica adornment of the opening tune "Goodbye Charlie Brown" through the driving "I Found the Lions" to the subdued, "Prayer for My Friends" with its warm harmonies, The Ring is a thoroughly captivating record.
