With a bang

We've had lots of visitors over the holidays and so have been at home a good deal (entertaining, darling) with music playing in the background a lot of the time. Once we got through our favourite albums we dug a little deeper into the files and so we've listened to lots of albums and artists that we might not have hung around with for a while. Here's one of them - Kristina Olsen from California. We saw this bluesy singer/songwriter at Stonehaven Folk Festival a few years back (by accident really) but we thoroughly enjoyed her whole show. She's funny and the owner of a lovely growly voice. Here she is just talking:





And here she is singing a great song called 'The Big O' (written by David Dodson):



She's pretty much always touring so you can catch her somewhere some time, I'm sure.

Happy January, one and all.

Now that's a voice! And there's me thinking it was going to be about Mr Orbison...

Any singer with that kind of voice AND a sense of humor will win me every time.

Thanks for sharing her!
