Nostalgic country-roots singer Katie Jo has an approach sharp & delightful on her debut. Sings of topics few country singers dare. Has a young voice but a lived-in voice. Lots of authority. The 9-cut Pawnshop Queen (Big Ego Records) came on April 9th. Think Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette & Kitty Wells. When Katie sings in her less twangy voice (title track) she’s an edgy original. Easily a voice for road songs, & saloon tales.
