“Vaneese Thomas is a powerhouse vocal of positivity and hope on this record. Her lyricsobserve the issues and challenges we face in these modern times and uplift us as we navigate toward harmonizing with each other as she does from song to song. Her voice is the true and seamless bridge of musical roots from soul to country and missing no highways in between. From harmonica to fiddle and raging electric guitars, this record lives in a completely timeless realm of beauty.” Valerie June

The amazingly powerful voice of Vaneese Thomas returns for her ninth album “Fight The Good Fight.” Beyond her vocal prowess the collection of a dozen new tracks showcases the songwriting skills of Thomas, who wrote/co-wrote the songs. Thomas co-produced the album with her life partner, Wayne Warnecke, at Peaceful Waters Music during the pandemic lockdown. The breadth of style and theme reflects Thomas’ career with a cross section of soul, gospel, blues, country, and Americana flavors with themes of romance, socio-political discourse, spirituality, celebration, and love.

Thomas invited many special guests to contribute to the effort including Scott Sharrard (Gregg Allman’s musical director), Bo Mitchell, Lisa Fischer, Tash Neal, along with the Memphis Horns - trumpeter Marc Franklin and saxophonist Kirk Smothers (Drive By Truckers) - and harmonica from Corrin Huddleston. Two veterans of LateNight TV, bassist Will Lee from the Letterman show and drummer Shawn Pelton from SNL, and a slew of other players sat in for special sessions in Brooklyn, Nevada, and the famed Royal Studios in Memphis.
