On No Stranger, we aimed to capture the raw and occasionally growly, gritty, downright dirty vibe that we've been cultivating over the last year (our first year performing together as a band.) These 10 tracks were pulled from my (Bekah's) year writing a song-a-week in the Global Soulwriters Group. Over the course of the year, I brought these tunes to The Fellas and they put the proverbial stank on 'em.
Or sweetness, where applicable.
We've worked hard and at last have captured the sound and vibe of a BKTF live show experience.
We named this album for the band of friends who've "never met a stranger" and also for some the quirkier tunes found within, which, as we down South might say, "couldn't get no stranger".
"It’s a leap forward for the talented Kelso whose voice on her new originals can conjure Janis Joplin’s more commercial pop side (on “Lucky Son of a Gun”), a deeper Rickie Lee Jones (on “Get On Home”), Fiona Apple’s manic intensity (on “The Point” and “Raven’s Song”), a Broadway chanteuse (on “Devil’s Rope”) and romantic old-school R&B singer Roberta Flack (on “”Odyssey” and “Wicked Love”)." - Hector Saldana, San Antonio Express News
