The Gun in Your Hand stays true to Danielia Cotton's roots at the cross sections of rock and jazz. Produced by Kevin Salem (Rachel Yamagata, Madder Rose), the album kicks off with electrifying reimagination of Salem's hit Lighthouse Keeper and boasts of a goose bump-inducing cover of Strange Fruit. The Gun in Your Hand may have been born of trying times , but it has the bracing, life affirming feel of opening all the windows on a house that has been boarded up and letting the spring air work its healing magic.
