From the anthemic �Virginia (Wind In The Night),� an ode to Russell�s native state to which he�s recently relocated (�If it was solely up to me, I�d live her for the rest of my life,� he says), to the minimal but momentous �Tiebreaker,� Every Shade of Blue showcases The Head and the Heart�s unique ability to dip its toes into a variety of musical genres. It�s the band�s knack for supreme melody, however, that remains a constant. And it�s why many of the songs on Every Shade of Blue, including the slow-rolling title track, �Every Shade of Blue,� which Russell says has �a Sinatra vibe,� are undeniable pop-radio missiles. The band�s ability to create music that appeals to listeners� common denominator, Russell says, is something he not only won�t shy away from but is immensely proud of.�
