Backroad Heart is more than just a collection of songs -- it's a piece of me. Every track tells a story I've lived, a memory I've carried, or a laugh I've needed to survive it all. Some songs come from a tender place... others from pure mischief. Because that's how life is, isn't it? A little heartbreak, a little moonshine, and a whole lot of grace. These songs are for my daughters, my family, and for the folks out there just trying to hold it all together. I sing about the ones I've loved, the mistakes I've made, and the miles I've walked in worn-out boots. But I also sing for our heroes -- the ones who came back bruised, and the ones who never made it home. Their courage lives between the lines of every verse. And yeah, I had to tip my hat to the Duke family too -- rebels with good hearts, like most of us, trying to do right in a world that doesn't always make sense. This album is rough around the edges -- just like the backroads I came from. But it's real. And if you've ever laughed through tears or stood silent for someone you miss, I hope this hits you right where it's meant to. Here's to the heart that keeps beating -- even when it's broken, even when it's wild. -- Yves
