OK…a new CD is coming. YAY! Below are some ideas/suggestions from me. MY HUMBLE OPINION!!!

• On her next CD, I hope she tones down the pinup/sexy look of “Listen Up”. Now, obviously, being a guy, I LOVED the cover art etc for LU, but I think it might have held her back in a way. That CD deserved so much more respect as a pop masterpiece and I wonder if that cover art made it appear too lightweight. So, for CD number 2, maybe a more mature look…
• She has said that she wants to go back to her rock and roll roots for an “edgier” sound on the next CD. I think the one issue many people had with LU was that there was not enough of the growling rocker that people loved on Idol. So, I hope she taps into that vein much more on the new CD. More songs like “Keep Coming Back” and even “Spiderweb”.
• I really like “My Cake” and “Better” and hopefully those will really shine via studio production. I loved what she did with “My Cake” at Buffalo Grove, turning it into almost a jazzy jam tune ala Grateful Dead or Traffic.
• Although Haley is quite a songwriter, I hope she is open to singing other people’s songs and is not in a box of “I won’t sing a song unless I wrote or co-wrote it.” If a great song comes along, I hope she considers it.
• I think she should do at least two covers on the CD, one hopefully “Black Velvet” which has been discussed. And, I wonder how she would do with a song like the Burt Bacharach classic “The Look of Love”. I think she would KILL that song with her swinging sultry voice.
• I think “Black Velvet” (if on the CD) should be the first single, only just to get her back on the radio.
• Given the long legs of “Undone” (around the world!), I would think she would consider another ballad or two.

Anyway, these are just MY SUGGESTIONS on the next CD AND I am not setting Expectations! I am sure I will love whatever she does and just hope something happens soon! My last suggestion: Get OUT ON THE ROAD with a FULL BAND! That is all….

I had both ends of the spectrum in 2013...the top of the heap at Halien Weekend in Chi-town with the Reinharts and the Crazy Haliens...and the bottom of the pile health wise. This dog is still kickin...we'll do it again in 2014!
