Born in Illinois, and currently hailing from the rural California town of Ojai, on the outskirts of Los Angeles, you'd think this chick was raised in deep south on a steady diet of Bonnie Rait, PBR's, and Marlboro reds. Her voice is both bristly and beautiful- which she commands perfectly as she belts out songs about heartbreak, moonshine, the Midwest, and the mighty Mississippi (everything you could possible want on a good country/folk album).
Her debut album Why You Running was recorded mostly in Nashville late last year with Jacquire King (Kings of Leon), and is incredibly intoxicating- much the same way that Dylan's Nashvile Skyline is. As I said earlier, it's rough yet alluring, and kinda makes you want to ride off into the sunset in some beat up Ford pickup with your lady by your side and a 6 pack of bud heavy's. Enjoy.
