  • Description

    "I attempted to make music that could fit in any era. But leans on the simplicity of the music that first inspired me. Roots rockabilly country blues, to narrow it down for you! Kind of a Nick Lowe meets Skeeter Davis meets Crystal Gayle. Sounds that were in full blaze when I first moved Austin." - Kelly Willis

    Press Quotes:
    "Kelly Willis looks back to country music before Nashville embraced power ballads and cute happily-ever-after songs. She has an old-fashioned country voice with a twang, a breathy quaver, a break or a throaty sob whenever she needs one. Whether she was wishing for comfort, admitting to a bruised heart, yielding to illicit romance or trying to say goodbye, her voice was modest and true, illuminating the delicate tension and pain in every line." -New York Times

    "There's no point in being nostalgic for the generic delineations of the past. We are in the present. That's where Kelly Willis lives. And it's there that she sings, as keenly and movingly as any singer in the country or pop or rock present." - No Depression

    "Willis' Okie soprano still crackles like no other, and her control and phrasing makes it more devastating than ever." - Rolling Stone
