On Episode 149, I'm joined by singer-songwriter Kree Harrison. Harrison released the wonderful Chosen Family Tree, her latest full-length album, this past August. Harrison seamlessly blends classic country, smart pop hooks, and a hearty southern soulfulness on Family Tree. Right from the opening notes of the first song, the crystalline "Nothing in This World," it's a remindful nod to those iconic country sounds of the past--straight from the George Jones or Tammy Wynette playbook. Standouts like the gorgeous warm sway of "That's How Hearts Get Broken," the toe-tapping pop punch of "I Love the Lie," or the dark swagger of "Get Away with Anything" show Harrison's stellar ability to morph into various states, moods, and tones as effortlessly as anyone.

During this one, we talk about recording Chosen Family Tree at Echo Mountain in Ashville, North Carolina, collecting and writing songs, country, soul, swamp-pop, Texas roots, navigating Nashville, and how one releases an album during 2020.
