“You Be the Lightning” is the fifth album for Melbourne-based Canadian ex-pat Tracy McNeil, and her band The GoodLife.
Featuring the recent single ‘Stars’, and the much-adored ‘Not Like A Brother’ (an instant hit with music directors at ABC Local, Double J & ABC Country – and “one of the best ballads you’ll hear from anyone all year” – Double J), You Be the Lightning once again highlights the songwriting brilliance of McNeil. Within the broad strokes of Americana music, Tracy McNeil & The GoodLife have refined their own palette, expanding on their distinctive alt-country roots, culminating in a body of work that many believe is the bands’ finest to date.
