Album Features Special Guest Appearances By Vince Gill And Johnny Reid
Multi Platinum award winning artist Terri Clark returns with her brand new album “The Long Way Home” on Capitol Records/EMI Music Canada, September 1, 2009.
Self produced, “The Long Way Home” is a collection of songs that shape who Clark is as an artist: country injected with rock, soul, strength, clarity, blues, passion and conviction. The blues-steeped first single, ‘Gypsy Boots’ debuted at #42 on the Country Radio charts and was the most added track at Country Radio its first week out.
“Working with EMI has been the most refreshing experience I could possibly hope for at this point in my career. The excitement and enthusiasm for this record and the new music is infectious and just makes me want to work as hard as they are to make it a priority, and ultimately a success.” Terri Clark
Whether it’s the aggressively turbo-charged ‘Poor Girl’s Dreams’, the steamy ‘If You Want Fire’ or the delicate balance of two lives in ‘You Tell Me’, Clark’s full-throated tenor continues to blaze with a full spectrum of emotions. The result is a record that captures the tides of adult lives, great passions and the struggles that mark a journey.
“You know, I’m being as I am….not ‘I am woman hear me roar’ or ‘I’ll rip your face off’,’ Clark offers with finality. “No, this is the part of me that gets hurt and scared, that wants and dreams and knows it’s all so much bigger than I am. Once you figure that out, you decide to make the things you do matter. That’s all you’ve got that you can deal with – and that’s something it took me all the way to here to figure out.”
With more than four million albums sold and nearly a dozen Top 10 hits to her credit, Terri Clark has emerged as a singular voice on the country music landscape – driving, passionate, spirited and every bit her own woman. She’s a dynamic, no-holds-barred live performer and one of the rare female country artists capable of throwing down some impressive guitar work.
The Alberta native has toured with such superstars as Brooks & Dunn, Reba McEntire and George Strait on her way to becoming an eight-time, fan-voted Canadian Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year, a CMA Female Vocalist of the Year nominee and the first Canadian female country artist to be a member of ‘The Grand Ole Opry’.
“The Long Way Home” is the first album Clark has made since her mother Linda was diagnosed with cancer. Terri put everything on hold to be by her mother’s side and during that time, she thought long and hard about, what she wanted, the choices she’d made and who she wanted to be. What emerged was an album that was as alive, as strong, as soul-country as the woman herself.
It may be “The Long Way Home”, but listening to the songs, is absolutely worth the journey.

1. Gypsy Boots
2. If You Want Fire
3. A Million Ways To Run

Terri,
When are you going come ‘downunder’ and do another tour in Australia. I met you at a ‘meet and greet’ at the Hellenic Club in Canberra last time you were here, such a memorable event for me.
Have ordered your new album.
All the best,
Captain Dave Bowley

Terri…We are so excited you are coming out with a new album, cant wait. We wanted to say sorry about your Mother. Annette And I know both know first hand what is like to watch someone close to you battle cancer. Annette lost her mother to cancer in 2002 and my mother was diagnosed last year with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. Thanks to the wonderful doctors and combination of Chemo and Radiation she made it thru and now her cancer is in remission. We wish you and your family the best of luck through this ordeal.

Hey Ben – you can get the live album at Amazon. That’s what I did.
Hi Terri!!! I love your new website — but am looking forward to hearing the new album!!!! Now that we’ve got a release date of Sept 1st, why don’t you give us a release date for the live album!! We want that the most I think!! I would’ve liked to hear your My Next Life CD- but I understand that you couldn’t put it out because of life alterations!! Good luck with the new CD- Can’t wait for the video!! xo
Terri, I love the new website so far and look forward to the completed version. Taylor has done a good job. I can’t wait for the new album to come out and I love the snippit idea. Thanks for all the hard work it has taken to get to this point.
I am sooo happy that “Tough With Me”, made it with you. I am also hoping that at least one more made it, looks to be a future thing? Have a great week.
Perfect timing … I’ll be able to listen to the new CD before Terri comes to Vegas. I’ve been waiting for awhile for Terri to release a new CD and to return to Vegas. “The Long Way Home” is a great title. I went to the CMA music fest for the second time this year. I really felt like I was home when I was in Nashville. I plan on making it an annual event because there’s no place like HOME.
Ohhh, this is exciting! I cannot WAIT to hear this new release.
Great article!
