Vocals and Trumpet on Dwayna Litz Songs

My new single will soon be out, "My Mind's On You." Here we are after adding background vocals to it, as well as about three other songs, at Ronnie's Place studio in on Music Row. 

It was also a pleasure working with Andrew Carney on trumpet on about ten songs this year.

Dwayna Litz Music Documentary

 

Here I am with the legend, Charlie McCoy, on harmonica, and a new pianist who did not disappoint, Ryan Jones. Mark Niemiec was the engineer. We recorded three songs with no click track, just feeling them live together: "Moon River" and "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" and "My Jesus I Love Thee."

Then, the background vocalists came, and it was another full day where I was there from 9:30 until 7:00.

I have also begun a documentary, so some of it was filmed. The documentary will be to encourage artists to keep growing in being all they can be by measuring themselves only against their own potential, not contingent on any opinion of an A&R person. The best music is created--not for fame or money--but from the heart, just because it is part of who we are. In addition to this theme, the documentary will be about our stories of how we all got to the place we are as singers and musicians. Some stories also will be included about what was the inspiration behind some of the songs I have written.

While art is all about feelings, I have found that not all artists have a heart able to feel enough to write great songs. As Quincey Jones said, "Your music will never go deeper than who you are as a person," so we can thank God for all that we go through in life, especially in the area of pain, that gives our music depth. 

My 'Happiness No Man Required' Podcast Soon to Come

Big news! My new podcast, “When Satan Goes to Church” is now out on all the platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, etc. Give it a listen while in traffic! Plesse rate it and “subscribe,” so as not to miss an episode.

New episodes will be added each Sunday, beginning this Sunday. In addition, thanks to an experience I have had recently, I plan to start another podcast called “Happiness No Man Required” (the title of my book) for single women. There are too many dishonest men in the world today for women not to know how to protect themselves.

I also plan to say things in this coming podcast like how wonderful it feels to any normal woman to be able to respect a man. It is just that you cannot respect them when they are no longer worthy of your respect...For most women today the old Jazz standard, “Someone to Watch Over Me” is a fable but true, thank God, when it comes to God’s love, which these podcasts will be about.

I do know good men, and they are in my life to stay as friends. They are the ones who never have a motive to mislead or do me wrong. That’s a friend, and that is a good man.

I will be recording part two next week also to my “Dwayna Litz Testimony” podcast (about all God has helped me overcome) and then will be moving on to these other podcasts.

Part two of my testimony will hopefully be just as interesting as part one in my wonderful and fulfilling “Honest Life,” where my life is about all I can accomplish, as I continue to pour myself into my work, writing and sharing about all that comes along to touch my heart in life, and I would not have it any other way!

Dwayna Litz's "Stayin' Gone" Being Played all Summer

"...Through the release of her new single, Stayin’ Gone, Dwayna Litz adds energetic innovation to country music while delivering a powerful message about self-worth and the importance of moving on. The song launches with its heart-cutting lyrics and catchy rhythm when it asks, 'How many times have I told you goodbye?' and continues from there without looking back. This song reaches out to people who have grown tired of being led on and finally mustered the courage to leave once and for all. Dwayna delivers emotion through her voice with powerful ease and captures listeners through her combination of gritty soulfulness..."

Dwayna Litz's "Country Grit" in "Stayin' Gone"

  

The opening line of Dwayna Litz’s single “Stayin’ Gone” immediately establishes its powerful tone when she asks, “How many times have I told you goodbye?”. The track presents an honest depiction of the suffering from a harmful relationship without any attempt to make it appear less painful. The song delivers an unwavering statement that it won’t provide additional opportunities. The powerful and relatable raw honesty in Dwayna’s voice amplifies the impact of the lyrics. The recording done at Nashville’s renowned Ronnie’s Place delivers energetic driving rhythms and sharp instrumentation that combines country sounds with elements of southern rock... --Hail Tunes
