I knew there was someone that was going to be on late night television that I wanted to see. I couldn’t come up with it. And now, thanks to Kathleen Edwards, now I remember. It was Kathleen Edwards, who actually performed one of my favorite songs, The Cheapest Key, which comes off of Kathleen’s new album Asking For Flowers.

The video is online now at Youtube, but unfortunately not embeddable, so check it out via this link.

And on a side note, she doesn’t sing “bull” on the album. Watch the video, and you’ll perhaps catch my drift.

If you aren’t hip to Kathleen’s music….wow, you really should be. She’s been called among other things, Canada’s answer to Lucinda Williams. I call her simply “great,” and her new album joins her previous two releases for a catalog of three albums that are must own material in my book.

I first became aware of her via her touring and overall support from Canadian faves of mine Blue Rodeo. Kathleen’s husband Colin Cripps also plays guitar in BR frontman Jim Cuddy’s solo band, and for those of you that dig a great guitar player, Colin is one to check out.

Kathleen is out on the road currently, and putting on a live show that deserves your attention if she is in your city/state/town. I’m crossing my fingers that Cleveland will get a date soon, and plotting a road trip otherwise if we don’t.
