Volume 16 Issue 6
I had asked this deeply talented singer/
songwriter and multi-instrumentalist to
tell her own story as a guest author, but
she preferred that I write it. However,
when I had the opportunity to listen to a
download of the new album, I realized
that in one sense, she’d already written
it. Providing a view from the inside out,
“Lost Angel” tells what it’s like to deny
a hidden part of yourself, needing and
finally allowing that core essence to reveal
itself: Have you been broken / all shards
and pieces / hands rough and bleeding /
all folds and creases
Your pain is one thing / your heart’s
another / Where is your sister? / where is
your mother?
But your shame will leave you if you let
her in / cast your guilt down / there is
no sin / You swear you’ve seen her face
before / Your lost angel’s at your door …
The roots/rock of As I Am feels right at
home in the current decade. “Don’t Hurt No
One No More” is a thumping ballad of selfdiscovery which extols Believe me, all I told
you was true / I just couldn’t give myself to
you / I don’t hurt no one no more / Don’t hurt
no one no more / Oh, sugar darlin’, I can’t
keep fallin’ / my love only causes pain over
riveting guitar and organ riffs. “Power of the
Lord” is a powerful and compelling song
with some hellacious lead guitar and backing
choral passages. Mya and supporting voices
sing: Who’s gonna teach you ‘bout the dime
store prophet / Oh, the power of the Lord /
The preacherman who only wants to start a
riot / Oh, the power of the Lord. What might
have been just an admonition to hypocrites
using religion to condemn those who don’t

When Mya Byrne came out as a
transgender woman earlier this year, it
was probably shocking to some, although
not to others. Beyond that, she’s been
embraced by our community and has
put together an album of new music, As
I Am, which, in many ways, mirrors her
transition. She is working on being not
only a performer, but an advocate.
Her first band, The Ramblers, was a roots/rock band,
described on her website as “a festival Americana act,
opening up for such bands as Levon Helm starting
in the late aughts.” After Jack Hardy died in March

just a matter of time before they spoke to

Ramblers, “These Blues Weren’t Meant
to Survive,” can be heard online at Ron
Olesko’s Folk Music Notebook (singout.
org/2014/06/16/mya-byrne/). Ron played
the song during Mya’s very edifying June
15, 2014, visit to his WFDU-FM (89.1)
show, Traditions. Recording that song
left Mya filled with an overwhelming
inexplicable emotion, but eventually
shook loose the truth about living her life
and not giving in to society’s conventions.
Mya Byrne had already been embraced
by the folk community, but since she’s
transitioned, it’s obvious that her music
has blossomed. Let’s all join her as this
journey bears fruit.
