Details:
Often compared to the late singers Karen Carpenter and Eva Cassidy, vocalist and songwriter Laura Pursell blends a combination of angelic soulfulness with west coast cool. Her voice and music defy categorization â she has recorded everything from jazz to pop to country to electronica.

No stranger to the music business, Laura was raised in Nashville, and her father is Bill Pursell, who had his own hit record on Columbia in 1963, as the artist on the instrumental single âOur Winter Loveâ.

âUnkissedâ was Lauraâs second recording under the Netcom Music labeI, and it features the writing of a long string of Nashvilleâs biggest hitmakers, including Holly Lamar, the late Randy Van Wormer, Marv Green, Aimee Mayo, and Chris Lindsey. Boasting 17 tracks of irresistibly hook-laden material, this project was recorded at Nashvilleâs historic âBradleyâs Barnâ, with a large band that included a horn section and the Nashville String Machine.

Starting out with the upbeat, joyful âI Just Doâ (Track #1) and culminating with the emotionally wistful âNever Say Goodbyeâ (Track #17), the album is held together by Pursellâs voice - fluid, clear as a bell, and a little mournful.

In January 2001, the single âWhat Only Love Can Doâ, penned by the late Randy Van Wormer, was released from the âUnkissedâ album. It charted in the ACQB Top 40, made Radio & Recordsâ âNew & Activeâ List and was caught on Billboardâs Impact Airplay Monitor.
