She's Gonna Blow Up (speechless)

[@xlox14x58]

Im not even 3 minutes into this video, and this girl deserves to be a star more than half of the famous singers out there. So much talent. Thank you Michael for putting stuff like this out there.

Katie - this was really special. I mean it. Since filming, I listened to multiple albums of yours. There's so much gold in there. We're all rooting for you my friend!

The soul and emotion in that voice is the definition of hauntingly beautiful.

[@thomasking1475]

Katie opened for American Aquarium, twoish years ago. Walked into the venue with no idea who she was. I was less than 10 feet from the stage in a venue, not yet half full. She walked out onto that stage and changed my life. No lie. The best gift I've ever received from a stranger was BJ Barham introducing Katie to me. AA is easily one of my favorite bands, that night she owned the stage.

[@CynHicks]

Man that's not even an overstatement. I don't typically indulge in this genre/style at all but this girl's voice is beautiful... the control ... the passion in her voice...😮

I am disappointed in my YT recommendations for me not already knowing about her. She's been around for a while, worked with some big names, and has done Paste/Tiny Desk (home)/ACL. This is like just hearing about Jason Isbell for the first time.

[@stevelucero9047]

WOW. just WOW. Arresting voice... dynamics, phrasing, arrangement....hits the same as Chris Stapleton did the 1st time I heard him. Great songs... and songwriters... transcend generations. Are relatable to all. This is art first. Not product. Art. We know this because we feel _connected_ to it, not because it is or could be popular, but simply because it's pure.

She's one of my absolute favorites. Brandi Carlile brought her on stage in Nashville a few years back, and I was instantly hooked. Going to see Katie here in Colorado a few weeks from now, and can't wait.

I met her and got a photo with her at the 2022 NC Brewers and Music Festival. She was so good and sang with so much emotion. I told her my daughter loves to sing and I really hope she can be like you some day writing her own songs.

[@irreverentreverend]

You are so right. I've taught my children a lot of things and have learned a lot more from them. I have changed my mind about many things by seeing life from their perspectives. The world has changed quite a bit in my 70 years and we need to change with it. CS&N's 'Teach Your Children Well' comes to mind. Thank you for bringing Katie to my attention. Brilliant!

Radio needs to play this and more artists like Katie! I stumbled upon Abby Anderson a few months ago and she blew me away. Check out her backyard/acoustic recording of her song, "First to Hit the Road" as it is awesome. Katie's voice, musical style, and lyrical quality are top shelf! Michael P, thank you for this video!

“Radio” who listens to radio anymore when you can stream?

[@rememberthis8795]

I still listen to radio from time to time. I still have “Eight tracks and cassettes in stereo” to quote an old song. I find it strange that we went from mostly AM radio in the 1960s to buying $14 FM converters from Radio Shack in the late 70s, to CDs in the early 80s, and then almost overnight we all started streaming audio. What is next, neural audio importation?

You are such a kindred spirit man… it makes me feel not so alone in my deep love of music when I see someone get so excited and emotional when they get surprised by discovering a new artist who is so gifted, and you can hear it in the writing, in the arrangement, instrumentation, playing, in everything… and you know this is a career artist and you are an instant fan. That’s how I feel… it’s a feeling of connection that’s spiritual that’s hard to explain to people who don’t care about music in a really passionate way. Love that you’re sharing this with people and am an instant fan of yours. ❤

[@peterfranks7619]

To see your eyes tear up priceless. Music can be absolutely beautiful. I had brain surgery three years ago I have seen things that without them being on tape or video/ pictures people wouldn’t believe me. My point, I get very emotional now when I hear a beautiful song. That wasn’t me before the surgery.

[@bertieborough]

Michael, great review, incredible artist and never having heard of her before, I will be following her and her career from now on.

Shout out to Cody Warren as well.

Exactly! The con of the internet is that any jackass can release a shitty song or a shitty opinion. No shortage of those.

Side note, Katie gives me a little Jason Isbell vibes. She's incredible.

[@deanroddey2881]

​@@rmoultonrmoulton145The gotcha of course is that most folks don't look. and, of those that do, they are so thinned out. I see something really good and a week later I can't even remember who it was. The internet giveth and the internet taketh away. And of course digital cheater tools get more powerful all the time, blurring the lines between musical talent and editing talent. When the internet first came along so many people argued that the era of the labels and their 'plastic' artists would be over. But of course there's far more fakery now than ever. The same people who were making that argument were not long afterwards arguing with me that all that matters is the final product, because now they were the ones benefiting from that fakery to put out sounds that sound far better than they actually are. And, hey, Jimi Hendrix once overdubs, so how is that any different from editing, tuning, quantizing, copying and pasting, etc...?

[@JB-lp9xr]

The other con of the internet is the “algorithm” of streaming services and KZbin searches that try to feed you more of the same thing you just listened to, ensuring that your exposures narrows (instead of widens) over time.
