This Is Home, the new EP from singer Judy Whitmore, salutes the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. Whitmore’s interpretations are full of everything that is right with America—optimism, pride, and humanity. She delivers each song in a way that focuses on the song itself, not calling attention to herself, even though her instrument can clearly steal the focus if she let loose. It’s tasteful, yes, and highly respectful of the classic American material that she shares.

You’ve heard of Mount Rushmore? Well, meet Judy Whitmore. She’s just as inspiring. And just in time!
