KELSEY WALDON PREVIEWS NEW EP WITH COVERS OF NINA SIMONE, HAZEL DICKENS

“Waldon’s choice of covering the Civil Rights Era protest song “Mississippi Goddam” underscores the present-day social unrest being addressed by this release, turning Simone’s song into a hypnotic, fiddle-driven country number with Victoria and Armstrong chiming in about the racist violence that plagues the country. Waldon also embraces her bluegrass roots for the pro-labor union message of “They’ll Never Keep Us Down,” originally recorded in 1976. Proceeds from a limited-edition vinyl of the release will benefit non-profit advocacy groups Hood to the Holler and Appalachia Citizens’ Law Center.”
