Continuing with the Luck Reunion previews. There are a lot of bands on that bill for a single day. Even if they each play just 30 minute sets it is really packed.
Here is a singer-songwriter out of Kentucky. Jim James produced her debut album. Rolling Stone says she is for fans of PJ Harvey and Cat Power. It has a good interview with her.
According to interviews she is very politically outspoken and it is reflected in her lyrics. Here's a good quote from this article:
“The South has historically been the scapegoat for those who don’t live in this region to point a finger toward bigger problems and regressive policies. I wonder what would happen if people invested time and energy into a progressive idea of what the South could become. If there’s anything positive that can be attributed to this administration, it’s that it truly lifted the veil of how widespread these social injustices and deep-seated beliefs are, and how certain injustices attributed to the South are actually in every neighborhood in this nation.”
"The Way I Talk" talks about social injustice. I hear the Jim James influence, too.
This one is good.
