Miss What I've Known

One of the only luxuries of working a mindless, dead-end job is the 8 hours each day I get to listen to my iPod. There are a handful of albums that I find myself listening to every week, regardless of what mood I'm in. One of those happens to be Kelsey Waldon's new album Anchor in the Valley. Kelsey and I struck up a friendship over MySpace early 2009 and we toured together in July of that year. Ghostbeard would be hit or miss during that tour, but Kelsey was pretty much flawless every night. She's a real throwback to the classic country sound, but also is full of personality and clever lyrics; an amalgamation of Loretta Lynn and Neko Case. This song is called "Miss What I've Known."




Since I'm very interested in home recordings, here's a twofer today: A version of the song from an earlier EP, recorded in her basement.
