| | Influences | This is the new one:
and I love the last one, too. There's a reason the distributer is called CDbaby. As soon as it's done, you realize you've just started.
My greatest influences by far have been my sister Leah, whose voice is crashing and sweet, and my father's, whose voice is boisterous and gentle. Johnny Cash, who I don't remember not knowing--George Jones is the greatest country singer of all time though I can't imagine how he managed to stay alive all this time--Kitty Wells, Hank Sr., Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Dolly Parton, Gram Parsons, Wayne Hancock, Loretta Lynn, Iris Dement, Dale Watson, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Louvin Brothers, Alice and Hazel, Jeff Tweedy, Elliott Smith, Lizzy West, Neko Case, Waylon Jennings, Flappers and the lusty and beautiful music of Cuba in the '20s, the Inkspots, Fats Waller, Portland musicians!! Benjamin Arthur Ellis, Dan Eccles, Hitting Birth, Crackerbash, Shoeshine Blue, Power of County, the Prarie Dogs, and the authentic Lynn Connover. I'll always love Portland deep in my heart, I hope I'm forgiven for jumping ship lately to get a little sun. | | Sounds Like |
A modern day approach to--
Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Waylon Jennings--But I like to call it Indie Country
