Inspired by the experiences of her grandfather during World War II – which carry a message all too relevant in the world today – Jill created the title track Yours Aye and this became the catalyst for the entire album.

Jill’s ability to bring raw emotion to her material is never more evident than in the moving All I’ve Ever Known. Elsewhere, Baby Chicken is a fun country infused tribute to motherhood and Sweeter Than Honey, a jaunty, upbeat number about love.
