Sounds Like
Alt-Country Folk Rock, swampy and driving, kinda like Lucinda Williams on steroids. Or, Steve Stills in a dress, but without the drugs. Or, the love-child of Ry Cooder & Memphis Minnie. Or....well, just exactly like the music you hear when you click on that jukebox thingy right there.
A San-Francisco-meets-Nashville-by-way-of-Bakersfield sound with detours on the Great American Highway through Tijuana, Beale Street, Kentucky and the Mississippi Delta along the way. A generous heap 'o country, blues, twang and roots, tossed in the blend.
A multi-instrumentalist as well as a poetic and passionate songwriter, Jenny Kerr is known for foot-stomping live shows and powerful, authentic voice. Kerr is a skilled player of fingerstyle guitar, clawhammer banjo, harmonica, piano, and dobro. Together with her band of road-tested rogues, she delivers a seasoned yet spirited sound with forays into swamp rock, straight-up soul, backwater honky tonk, and old-time blues. Her modern roots sound is steeped in contemporary production values, but informed by the eclecticism particular to that time, stretching the boundaries of genre, style, and race.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
