Kathleen Edwards.

So I saw her last September when she opened for Bon Iver, and had never heard her before then. She was good, but was another singer-songwriter and to be honest, sometimes I just get overwhelmed by the preponderance of singer-songwriters in the scene today. Oh and I was a little distracted because I wanted to make a bathroom run before Bon Iver started.

BUT. I've heard her on The Current a handful of times in the last week, specifically the song Sidecar, and she's been growing on me.

So I got her music and it's all I've been listening to today at work. It's pleasant. And not necessarily I-need-to-memorize-these-lyrics kind of music, just enjoyable. Something I can listen to for a good length of time and not get annoyed. Which actually says a lot, I tend to get sick of an artist after 1-ish album's worth of listening. Except for Jeremy Messersmith, that never happens with him. I could listen to him all the time and not get sick of it.

Anyway. Go get her stuff. And love it. Mmmk?

Current song: Kathleen Edwards - Change the Sheets
(PS - there's a city I love all over the video. And what is it about videos with driving and clouds and stuff? I just love em!)
