The tune takes the listener where “Little Miss Lost” left off with a story of love that is on the verge of ending but should be fought for. “Little Miss Lost” captured the attention of some radio stations as “album of the year.”
The single will be part of a new album to be released in the fall that brings us past Cyndi’s preadult life when she was on her own trying to stay safe in risky environments.
Her band mates also include bassist Dave U.Hall and drummer Pat Carpenter. Kurt Reil of The Grip Weeds produced, sang backup vocals, and mixed at House of Vibes in Highland Park.

"We're gonna be there on Saturday March 8, less than two weeks away," said Brian Templeton of Delta Generators as they prepare to come to Jamey's House of Music in Lansdowne, PA for an 8 p.m. March 8 show. "This is our first time there and we're very excited about it. I'm really happy we're going in there; I didn't even know about the place. Sallie Bengtson of Nola Blue Records hipped me to that because I had told her that I was looking for some places to play in her area and she suggested that place and luckily they were open. We hit at 8 p.m., I think they start serving food around 6 p.m."
'90s alt-rock icons the Spin Doctors have released "Rock 'N' Roll Heaven," the second single from their upcoming LP Face Full of Cake, out April 11, 2025 via Capitol Records. Born of vocalist Chris Barron's musings on a rock and roll afterlife, the song imagines Heaven as a place in the sky where the beer stays cold, the mics are new, the guitars are old and amps go up to eleven.
