With the release of her stellar debut album Even the Sparrow on Rare Bird Records,
Kansas City-based/Memphis-born Folk/Americana singer-songwriter banjo player Kelly
Hunt announces herself as an elite songwriting talent, compelling storyteller and
organic, cinematic interweaver of traditional sensibilities and the human experience.
Reminiscent of modern traditionalists such as Gillian Welch, Even the Sparrow reveals
an ineffable quality that hovers beyond the constraints of genre, a la Anais Mitchell
and Patty Griffin. The album fully displays Hunts penchant for masterful storytelling
and intriguing arrangement, as researched and complex as they are memorable, punctuated
by articulate melodies, a creative command of lyrical delivery and emotional
communication and a unique self-taught approach to banjo at times calling back to
the percussive West-African origins of the instrument. This impressive 12-song set
no doubt launches Kelly Hunt on what promises to be a long, accomplished career.
