Details:
Honest Girl is the debut album by Jess Gibson. It is filled with beautiful acoustic songs that express feelings of loss, pain, hopelessness, heartbreak, regret, and loneliness. In all of Jess'' songs she''s a rambler (a role usually reserved for men). Her solution to her problems is to move on down the long, hot dusty road.

It is impossible to separate the art from the artist, the songs from the songwriter. These songs are personal to Jess. They express her internal world, philosophy, her outlook, her truth.

In "Something I Can Feel" Jess reveals what it''s going to take to win her affection. She has had enough of all the typical tokens of love (diamond rings, red roses ...) offered to try to seduce her. She is not impressed by any of these things. She wants more - something she can feel.

In contrast to her other songs, in “Something I Can Feel” Jess is strong and in control. She has attitude. If a man wants to try to get with her he better not be fancy, egotistical, or insincere (rehearsed pick-up lines won’t get too them too far!). She makes it clear that if she gets pushed too far she has the power to cut deep and make a grown man go running home crying like a scolded child.

In "Free to Think of You" Jess is leaving, but not by her choice. This time she is the one who is in love and is now heartbroken. After the "break-up conversation" (or maybe just a remark that was too cutting?) she has to go.

Her lover can take away the pleasure to be with him, but he can''t take away her right to think about him. Nothing in this world, no matter how big, will take away her freedom to think about him.

In “The Wind That Blows” her lover’s heart is broken because Jess wouldn’t/couldn’t give enough love. In truth she is in love (or on the verge of falling in love) but she can’t let herself be in love because that would keep her from being able to move as she pleases. The great big world is calling her and she has too much curiosity and desire to be restricted by being in love. She has to leave now before she gets in too deep and can’t go without being heartbroken herself.

“When Time is Running Out” is so hard and sad. In this song she is going to DIE in the flood and no one CARES! It does not get more bleak than that! The floodwaters in this song symbolize her emotions of despair.

In “When Time is Running Out” with death fast approaching she expresses the regret she feels that she feels about not being able to do all the things she wanted in her life. This is a universal feeling – no matter how old we are when we die, no matter how much we accomplish in our lives there are still things we didn’t do when we were alive.

“When Time is Running Out” is especially poignant after Hurricane Katrina and the flood of New Orleans. It falls in the tradition of “flood songs” such as Charlie Patton’s “Highwater Everywhere” and John Lee Hooker’s “tupelo.”

"Honest Girl" is devastating. In this song Jess has lost everything dear to her. She''s got nothing left - no material possessions, no possibilities for the future, no love. What she does have left is her honesty - to herself and everyone else. Her honesty and truth is something no one can take from her.

She is depressed and weak. The solution is to move to yet another place, “Pack my bags and blow down some other line.” This time Jess is leaving by her own choice. But the “hopeless, ramblin’ girl” in this song would like to stop moving. She would like to finally have a place to call home.

The most important thing about any song is that it speaks to people - that the listener can identify and connect with the lyrics and the music. These songs resonate because they come from a place that was true in the moment they were written.

The depth of emotion, musicianship, artistic expression, and creativity displayed in these songs is impressive.
