Kerri Powers
Kerri Powers is a story-telling chronicler of the American Dream deferred. Equal parts honky tonk sweetheart, confessional folkie, and rocker/blues bad girl Powers sings of the down 'n' out underdog - characters with bruised hearts, self-destructive wanderlust (occasional emphasis on lust), and unanswered prayers who can't seem to get out from behind the eight-ball. The images throughout the record are well-oiled Americana but never become opportunistic or trite in Powers' hands: railroad tracks, TV preachers, Greyhound buses, alligator boots, fireworks, Remington shotgun shells, lucky pennies, broken dreams, etc... Her song's landscapes evoke the similar worlds of artists like Bruce Springsteen or Gillian Welch. And like them, her language alternates between the poetic and blue collar.
