Episode 106: Kirstie Lynn
Pleased as punch to have had Kirstie Lynn join me for Episode No. 106 of Badass Records, and I'm just as excited to have you check out our conversation.
I ran into Kirstie in the ol' downtownage, and -- before I knew it -- we were swapping e-mail messages in order to get this chat on the books.
She's a classically trained opera singer, a songwriter, a musician, a live-music performer, a veteran of the gigging road, and -- if my two hours with her are a good measuring stick -- she's one heck of a fascinating human being. One might even go so far as to say wonderful.
We talked about the east coast, continuing education, opportunities, family and friends, relationships, and so much more. We also took a peek at a few of her favorite records, which were these:
Ladies of the Canyon (1970), Joni Mitchell
Angel Olsen's Halfway Home (2012)
Bury Me at Makeout Creek (2014), Mitski
Big Thief's Masterpiece (2016)
Nothing for Me, Please (2023), Dean Johnson
Please check out Kirstie's array of musical offerings at kirstielynn.com. You can buy, download, or stream her stuff on Amazon Music, Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, and -- to keep in the know -- you should follow her on Instagram.
Thank you very much, Kirstie Lynn, and thank you, kind listener, for being here.
