Photo: Lindsay Katt, whose debut album is a keeper I made sure to get the name ... Lindsay Katt, a name I promptly Googled. And before you knew it, I had a copy of her stunning debut album in the mail. It's called Picking Out Boxes. From the moment I heard her sing "Why do my teardrops taste like wine?" on what, for me, is the album's signature song ("Yellow Tail"), I longed to hear more. Her lyrics remind me of a young Joni Mitchell, her voice a young Carly Simon, with touches of early Jackson Browne and echoes of Suzanne Vega. Something tells me this is a name we're destined to hear often in the future. So it begs the question: Why is most American radio so incredibly, unforgivably bad? Why aren't the Lindsay Katts of the world given a voice on commercial radio? Is it ever going to change? It's the same feeling I have when I hear such acoustic warriors as Jimmy LaFave and John Gorka playing to a crowd of 100 loyal listeners. Why aren't these people Platinum artists? OK, I'll leave the soapbox momentarily to tell you where and how you too can listen to Lindsay Katt. Her debut CD became available online on Jan. 5. You can download it at www.digstation.com/lindsaykatt or you can order a copy via My Space at www.myspace.com/lindsaykatt. It's also available on CD Baby and sometime in February on iTunes and amazon.com. As Lindsay tells me in an e-mail, she's a "fully independent artist, no label and no financial backing. The record was mastered as the pet project of Greg Calbi (who started Sterling Sound)." Online copies sell for $12.99, which includes shipping, or you can download it for $9.99. Before I forget, kudos to Abilene's terrific NPR affiliate KACU (89.7 FM) for playing music worth hearing. E-mail entry: |
