Izzabella Music

IZZABELLA & IZsongworks -- dedicated to melody and poetry, in new Country songs.

Izzabella -- or IZ as she's been known since her school days -- is a singer-songwriter who lives in the Tidewater country of Virginia, USA. She regularly performs in that neighborhood's coffee-house circuit. You are cordially invited, next time you may be in the vicinity of the Potomac Valley, to come by one of Izzabella's performances -- and become a fan of her presence and her singing, as well as of her songs.

IZsongworks is dedicated to publishing the songs of Izzabella and her now-and-again lyricist, Shenandoah Slim. As Country Music songwrighting artists, for us "It's all about the song" -- the fusion of melody and poetry in ways that connect with listeners' lives.

...and these are our songs on this Jango internet radio playlist:

"Cry Angel Cry" -- a meditation on urban life in today's American South

"Hills of Oklahoma" -- our tribute to men and women of "the greatest generation," who grew up in the Depression, fought WWII, and raised the children of the post-war baby-boom

"If Words Could Only" -- for those who've been lovers once...and for lovers of ballad lovesongs

"For My Eyes Can See the Blue Ridge Mountains" -- a back-to-our-rootsmusic song, and the keening laments of traditional Mountain Music

"Time to Know" -- what we all wish we had when hit by love...and what pop-rock is for singing about

"Where Heartbreak Begins" -- a duet in the Classic Country style

"This New Machine" -- a humorous song for...lightening up your workout at the gym

"Rainmaker Love" -- a sawdust-on-the-floor song, and the morning after...

"Somewhere in Nowhere" -- a rodeo-rider song...and life in the hard-luck lane

Thank you. Like all artists we are much obliged to you for whatever time, attention and sharing you give our work.

Yours Very Truly,

Izzabella & Shenandoah Slim
