Aly is a singer/songwriter from Duluth, Minnesota. Starting with an acoustic guitar and cello intro, by the time the banjo and rhythm come in one is convinced that this haunting song is expertly produced. But as we all know, singer/songwriters need top rate songs to hold our attention. And the gentle-voiced Aly delivers: "Forbidden love - you won't let me be/Though I've been a faithful servant for the enemy/You captured my heart like a prisoner of war/You won't rest until my wandering heart is home." I've been slow coming to Aly's particular artistic table. Now that I have, I can't wait to hear more.
