Irene Kelley - Snow White Memories

SNOW WHITE MEMORIES Irene Kelley/Justyna Kelley
Once again, the dang pandemic gets some undeserved credit. Justyna and I had been perusing an antique store when I found the vinyl. “High Country Snows” by Dan Fogleberg among them so I snatched it up quick to replace my long-lost copy. Holed up at home, I had this record on repeat. It was that first spin and the cover art that I knew my next album was going to have a winter themed title. I floated the title “snow white memories” to Jus and she immediately said “hard to look, harder to look away” a standout line in the song. I used the word “souvenir” in the 2nd verse as a nod to Dan Fogelberg’s “Souvenirs” album. This track is very special with both Kelley Daughter/divas on gorgeous harmony vocals! In short, “Snow White Memories” is about my story and my early days in a small town in Western Pennsylvania where the winters were long … but so are the memories.
