Shelter (Muscle Shoals Remix) - by Donna Jean and the Tricksters 

In the past year, the word "Shelter" has only come to be more powerful in all our lives. This song was originally recorded by Donna Jean and the Tricksters, but has been remixed with stronger background vocals and a more tribal edge in the rhythm section. As writers, Jeff Mattson and I are thrilled with what came to life! It's time is now. Thank you for listening! All the best, Donna Jean
