The new album from Marshall Styler, entitle Seven Falls, is now in stores. It is also, by the way, his seventh album. About the new album Styler says:

I was looking forward to taking a break, but all of a sudden I heard these melodies in my head, and I’m not one to question it. I played them on the little piano, in the house, and then moved into the studio with a few songs to develop. This album took a little over two years, and as you’ll see in the liner notes, it’s dedicated to all the fantastic mothers in my life.

Styler had just released A Face in the Clouds in 2007 when this urge to create new music came over him . Styler is perhaps best-known for his Red River Trilogy of albums inspired by places around Texas. About Seven Falls Styler says:

Listening to it now, It sounds like a culmination of what I’ve been striving for in my music – for the listener to feel what I felt writing it, and for the music not to overwhelm the emotion. Based on what I hear from my listeners, that emotional element runs quietly and deeply throughout my music.

A live piano performance by Styler is set for June 20th @ 7 pm, on the patio overlooking scenic Lake Travis at The Crossings resort and spa in Austin, TX. So if you are in the area, this event is not to miss!

The album has a wonderful cover:
