kathleen edwards rocks it out

Steve and I were introduced to the music of Kathleen Edwards when she opened for my Mr. John Mayer in London, Ontario last Sunday.  She’s one rockin’ gal who knows how to deliver a song.

Here’s a video of her latest release Back to Me.

A review reads, "Along with her reckless vocals, Edwards’ insistence that place can affect identity and emotion has earned her numerous comparisons to Lucinda Williams, and her empathetic depiction of dead-end characters shares a strong kinship with Freedy Johnston. These comparisons are not without merit, but both Edwards’ physical and lyrical voices are resolutely her own: she absorbs these and other starting-point influences but is never beholden to them. In fact, on Back to Me, she has joined their estimable ranks." -Stephen M. Deusner
