She’s been called “a soft female Tom Waits.” Now, I like to think I’m an imaginative writer, but that’s an awful big stretch, just because it’s one of those juxtapositional impossibilities, kay?

Kelsea Little’s Personal Myth
After the first time I listened to this one, I woke up the next day (and the day after) with the melody for Blue Feather stuck in my head. I even found myself humming the tune as I went about my daily tasks. Typically this doesn’t happen so considering this is track 1 on Kelsea […]
