Although the album title speaks of Every Ghost, Kelsey Waldon begins the song cycle on her recent release by personalizing haunting with “Ghost of Myself”. The story spins accomplishments, hopes, and pitfalls in the life of Kelsey Waldon as the singer cites ‘I loved every ghost of myself’. The stories on Every Ghost see Kelsey Waldon holding a mirror to her past in an effort to reconcile with life events as she proudly looks to where she is today. The songs embrace both sides of one woman when Kelsey recalls her grandmother in memory as she plants flowers with “Tiger Lillies” and admits to the world that she is the best and worst of “My Kin”. Every Ghost lets a sober stance take the wheel while driving past the liquor store in her old “Comanche” and defiantly explains her way out of a white-picket fence existence in a cover of Hazel Dickinson’s “Ramblin’ Woman”.  
 
Recorded at Southern Grooves studio in Memphis, Tennessee, Every Ghost features Kelsey’s longtime touring band, The Muleskinners, backing the singer on the release. The pain of facing her past and the joy of her current life is not lost on Kelsey Walson as she confides that ‘there’s a lot of hard-earned healing on this record. It took time and experience to find compassion for my younger self. Now, I can see she was trying as hard as she could’. She is just another singer in a Country band on the train-track rhythms of “Let It Lie” as the sweet-sound of a pedal steel plays tag with electric guitar twang for the slow dance strains in “Lost in My Idlin’” as Kelsey Waldon greets the dawn with a “Nursery Rhyme” and walks with her held high as the world crashes on the equally propulsive beat supporting “Falling Down”.
