The current issue also features a very strong review of the album. As always, Becky thanks DJs for playing her music on the air and fans for listening!

"Amos & Sarah", featured on 'TWEEN EARTH AND SKY, is the true story of Amos and Sarah Ames, the great-great grandparents of Becky's co-writer Melissa Ames.
