Kathleen Edwards

I am about as musically uncool as anyone who posts here -- that's what loving Springsteen, Johnny Cash, and Chris Ledoux will get you -- but I just found someone who apparently isn't even new, Kathleen Edwards. I heard this song on the radio yesterday and it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I looked around a little more for her stuff on youtube, and Mrs. Edwards made a new fan last night.

Anyway, taking a musical recommendation from me is like taking a lesson in being a class act from John Terry, but I recommend seeing what she can do nonetheless.

 

Well Steve here is a local girl I saw at the House of Blues. Kristine Jackson - Very Good!

In fact, here she is singing Johnny Cash

Excellent voice, heinous tattoos.

 

Okay, my take from the video's. Kristine was much better in the 'Front Porch' jam. At least it suited her better, IMO.

OTOH, I wasnt impressed with the bass riff by Barrick. Too 'creative', by half. Maybe he needed more background.

He sounds much better here. What you can make out that is... Needed a board man.

Edwards: Well, steve.. there's opinions and there's assholes. Here's mine: Your link left me cold. Partly because it was poor quality, this version is direct hookup copy.
I liked Cheapest Key much better.

But still not enough to pay to see her. Of course I havent paid to see or hear anybody in years... uh.. decades?

Of the two, I vote Kristine.. because it's BLUES, man!!! And Kritstine has much more range.

However... if Kathleen turns you on, that's cool. Music as we always say is subjective .. you ARE a Springsteen fan after all, and that proves it.
:twisted:

 

And, besides, I cant critique TOO much.. considering this earworm tortured me for over a year
How about you, Don?

Don: Arf!

And speaking of Don, how come the one musician in the thread.. thus best qualified to do a critical analysis, didnt?
