Prine echoes the excitement by stating in a release, “Kelsey’s voice is one of the more authentic country voices I’ve heard in a long time. Her music continues an important arc of traditional folk and country music.”

Country music fans, listen up: If you missed singer-songwriter Kelsey Waldon’s performance at Hopscotch 10, you’re in luck. You can catch her playing at Chapel Hill’s Local 506 on Wednesday, Nov. 6; The Grey Eagle in Asheville, Nov. 7; and The Evening Muse in Charlotte, Nov. 8.
Waldon was recently handpicked by Americana legend John Prine to join his label Oh Boy Records, which released her new album “White Noise/White Lines,” produced with Dan Knobler.
What makes this significant is Waldon is the first new artist to sign with the label in 15 years.
“It’s hard for me to put into words what it truly means to me to be signed to Oh Boy Records,” Waldon said in a release. “To have someone like John, who I have looked up to my whole life, who I have set my songwriting standards after and my general music-making standards after, to have someone like him endorse my music and care enough about it to make sure it reaches a wider audience…that means everything.”

After I premiered the Dead Horses single “Ain’t Got Time” off their album, “Cartoon Moon,” last summer on my Huffington Post blog, I couldn’t stop listening to the entire album. In fact, it’s still in my CD player. Yeah, yeah, I’m a dinosaur but I recognize talent when I hear it.
