New Music Monday - Americana Crossover Style

Today's #NewMusicMonday features a pair of a pair of Americana artists traveling down new sonic roadways, broadening their reach and the impact of their music.

Like so many of her songs, this one is more abstrusely personal than broadly philosophical, filtered through her famously wry sense of humor.
