American Songwriter: Suzi Ragsdale Announces New EP, Premieres Single, “Wildflowers”
“I’m just trying to tap into what’s good and true,” says Nashville-based singer/songwriter and yoga instructor Suzi Ragsdale about the intersection between yoga and music. “Yoga is compatible with my view of the world and my writing has to be compatible with my view of the world. It needs to mean something to me or I’ll just not write that song.”
Fluidly flowing throughout her music, the discipline and practice of yoga and the spiritual connection between the physical and spiritual finds a fount of creative energy within Ragsdale. Her new single “Wildflowers” carries a basic understanding of the importance of natural beauty over cultured domesticity. “I’m following my heart. So darlin’, please don’t be surprised / If I pick wildflowers over roses, whiskey over wine” she sings, illustrating that idea poignantly.
