Kathleen Edwards: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2021
- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Bob Boilen | May 19, 2021
From a house in East Nashville, Kathleen Edwards sings about how thankful she is for those early aughts when she was praised with awards, television appearances, touring to packed venues - even if the tour bus with the bed in back was "total crap." As she continues to sing "Glenfern," the opening track to her first album in eight years as well as this Tiny Desk (home) concert, she remembers her former husband and collaborator.
But, as thankful as she is for those years, they overwhelmed her, and she quit. Struggling with depression, Kathleen Edwards opened a coffee shop called Quitters Coffee and lived a very different life.
A handful of years later, in 2017, she was invited to Nashville by Maren Morris to write some songs. That Nashville visit sparked a new beginning and eventually the 2020 album Total Freedom, which birthed the four songs you hear in this Tiny Desk concert.
She's flanked by her carefully masked musical mates: guitarist Todd Lombardo, who also plays on Kathleen's latest album, and Justin Schipper on dobro. Kathleen Edwards seems happy playing these new songs. They can be songs of sadness, sometimes filled with seething, such as "Ashes to Ashes," but she's also grateful for her everlasting love for a four-legged creature and the little catalpa tree where it's buried. She's found strength after those nonstop years - a lesson for us all, perhaps about life and time and its gift.

She is one of the greatest voices our country has. Soulful, original and memorable.
And a great song writer.
Agreed. She is The Queen.
By "our country" do you mean Canada or the US? HAHA
Her voice is so airy and easy and effortless goes up into these honest crystal shimmerings.
I love Kathleen Edwards! It’s been a long time since I’ve listened to her.
Fantastic! Oh yeah, sweet songs to get us thru another day of lockdown in Ontario. Thank you Kathleen
Ushxhx
I love her Tiny Desk from 10? years ago....so glad to see an update.
A poet, performer, and eternally broken heart.
I've listened to her original Tiny Desk dozens of times. I didn't think anything could top it but this does. Crisp and clear. I loved "Ashes to Ashes". Kathleen is magic
This was a fantastic performance! Kathleen’s guitar sounds incredible and the restrained but tasteful dobro licks are killer.
Fantastic to see Kathleen on here again. Her music has been a big part of my life for the past 13 years. Can’t wait to see her and the band live again.
New fan here, but also a fan of her shout out of catalpa trees. When the blossoms drop of a big adult tree its pretty magical.
What a lovely surprise to find this today
It always surprises me being a musician and not hearing about artists like these. What a beautiful voice and words.
Because the music industry is a business at the end of the day; the only thing the artist has to do with it is what the business can do with and manipulate the artist. I've never heard mainstream artists anywhere near as good as the examples we get to hear at Tiny Desk! Thankfully this exists!
Dude, check out her first record as soon as you can - "Failer"
She’s a gift. So thankful to have come upon her so many years ago and watch her flight.
I didn't know her till now but man this woman got some vibes✨
Thank you very much NPR, Kathleen, Todd and Justin. I'm watching from Argentina (South America). These songs are wonderful. Here we have one of the worst moments where the covid is wreaking havoc. This concert is a time to take a breath of beauty and good music. Take care and greetings from Argentina
Have always enjoyed Kathleen's music and so happy that she came back in a big way. Have to say that I loved the background cameras too! Couple of old 2 and a quarters and a nice looking 4x5 on that tripod. Magical room!
An angel speaks through this singer
The sound and acoustic is crystal clear, amazing! Her voice and that man on the slide guitar just makes it better.
That.Was.EXCELLENT!! Nicely done Kathleen! And guys! Totally loving the new album!
Absolutely incredible! I've saved the video to check them out later. Goosebumps all over my body with this music. Thank you!!
Wonderful voice, wonderful musicians, wonderful songs.....
Beautiful. No tricks or gimmicks. Just great songs and a great performance. I'm surprised they let you leave Canada though. There is hope.
Well I'm glad I stumbled across this..
Uff that echo kills me, such beautiful sound and voice, can't wait for the "real" version
A beautiful Phoenix raising from the ashes! Gracias👍✌️😊🙏🏼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶
Diggin it! Wow whatta treat! Thanks Kathleen and Co.
No that was an awesome concert! Thank you for brightening my day! Actually - my week - I'll be playing this one again!
Love you, Kathleen!!
Greetings from Paraguay
Amazing! Found another beautiful artist!
Your music has been missed! Back and badass as ever! Keep making great songs...
Uhhh those melodies are so sweet
I really needed to hear this today. 'Twas music that soothed the savage beast.
Kitty is back and sounding as good as she always does
Dobro sounds awesome, and this acoustic take adds to the lyrics
Wonderful recent record and always great to hear her sing and play ... unexpected but very, very welcome
The best! This is such good music.Thank you Tiny Desk !
Such a beautiful voice ❤️
Wow, this is incredible. She and Mean Mary are my new top faves. NPR, bring Mean Mary on. People, look her up.
Also, hurray for catalpa!! They are gorgeous, a favorite of mine. They are native to the America's I believe, and were considered a tree of the frontier ... there are many in Washington DC around the Capitol Grounds, so marvelously fragrant when blooming in June.
Good stuff.Can’t wait to see you back on the road.
I love hier music soooo much ! Si ce the first Album !
I love her so much
She's Back!!!
On her own terms, this time.
I guess she's in Nashville recording some new music. So glad she decided to come back from her semi-retirement.
This is from her home, I think. Hint: Tiny Desk (Home) concerts, from NPR. I notice Quitters is winding up for the good weather too.
Good stuff as usual!
nice voice ❤️, beautiful interpretation 👋👋👋
Just so so good
God bless you all ♥️
Kathleen is a hero :)
Thanks for sharing..
素敵な歌声ですね！好きになりました！
Amazing
We need Colten Wall in tiny desk!!!!!!!
I never watch the tiny desks with the explicit language advisory. But I'll make an exception for Kathleen Edwards! 🙃
Swears like a trooper and sings like an angel. 🙂

Does anyone know what guitar Kathleen is playing? Is it a vintage Gibson J45? I didn’t see that particular one with the matching top and side in her rig rundowns.
Sure looks like it, looks bigger that a LG1 ,love the sound
@@dp8828 I think it’s a 1957 J50. I did a lot of googling yesterday.
As diverse as my top choices are, it's Mac Miller and Kathleen Edward's tied meow
legend says, after the demise of autotune, Kathleen Edwards will survive 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
👍
this must be diane cluck's little sister (meant in a good way)
: )
Africa is here first 👋
It’s so covid. Also, not wearing a mask, we know who is singing. 😂
J.K Rowling sings so beautiful
😂
Woo! First
"This bores me."
- Prince
Why listen, then? Given a choice, why stay around to complain?
@@tonylalangue6243 I dunno. Probably the same reason you couldn't pass my comment without responding. (Boredom?)
@@gui-texzan7477 Go away troll. Let the rest of us enjoy the good music.
0 idea why the two guys are wearing mask..........great tunes though......you can walk out and not wear masks outside the room you are in.....Brings a tear to my eye........
Virtue signalling
Almost 600,000 people dead in the US and people still don’t get it.
@@Steaminlidz we get it, but this has nothing to do with that.
Kathleen and Dos Bandidos
@@Steaminlidz All the pessimism! Look at the bright side: COVID "killed" 600K, but eradicated the flu, pneumonia, common cold and other respiratory illnesses which have accounted for deaths throughout the ages. Even cancer deaths declined with COVID... So it was the magic cure-all for so many mortal illnesses.
hey lady lift your fingers a little and no finger squeak on the strings! fairly basic stuff.....
seriously, what are these masks for?! why don't you sing with it
It's just weird they are wearing masks, make sure you know the purpose of wearing a mask, just saying.
Beautifull voice... but those 😷 it makes me afraid.
Too much PC-masks.
Mask zombies.
When music is used as propaganda it sucks. Unmask
Complaining about propaganda with more propaganda: *check*
