Conjures ghosts and heroines, thieves, lovers and redeemers in a transcendent folk-blues, country-rock moonshine she's been pulling straight from the still for nearly 20 years. She's been living in the deep South for fifteen years, first in New Orleans, then moved to the higher ground in the North Mississippi Hill Country after Hurricane Katrina. She's about to hit the road for a tour with monumental songwriter Rodney Crowell, and sings with him on his just-released albumTarpaper Sky. Check out their inspired duet-singing on Famous Last Words Of A Fool.
Her last recording, Small Town Talk, is a loving, collaborative tribute to the lateBobby Charles, conceived and created together with the great Dr. John and his Lower 911 Band at Dockside Studios, deep in Louisiana's bayou heart. Off Beat Magazine nominated the collection for Album of the Year 2014 She's released 10 albums, been nominated for a Grammy Award, and performed with a who's who of rock, country and soul: Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Vince Gill, Levon Helm, Charlie Sexton, Dr. John, Rufus Wainwright, Anders Osbourne, Luther and Cody Dickinson, Greg Leisz, Derek Trucks....
