Spark, is a collection of songs written by Karin Bergquist & Linford Detweiler of Over The Rhine (title track, 'Spark'), Jackson Browne, David Gray, Sara Hickman, Jeff Black, the unlikely duo of Slaid Cleaves & Woody Guthrie, and still more revered songwriters. A central theme that runs the course of the whole album can be summed up in the closing line to David's original song, Cicadas: 'You are. It's Life. Rise up and sing!'
