Seven years after What I Am, Peace of Mind marked the next chapter in Barbara Hickey's journey as a songwriter and recording artist. Still rooted in rock, blues and Southern influences, the album reflected an artist with more miles behind her, a stronger sense of her own voice, and stories shaped by life, change and experience.

If What I Am was about discovering who she was, Peace of Mind was about becoming comfortable with it, finding perspective in the road already traveled and realizing that sometimes the thing we're searching for isn't somewhere ahead of us. It's already here.
