![]() Kristen Grainger and True North (from the album Ghost Tattoo available as a self-release) Heroes walk among us every day, and as Kristen Granger and True North collected songs for their recent release, Ghost Tattoo, the tales of those men and women walked along the tracks. Kirsten Grainger shared ‘my goal is to craft song stories that illuminate extraordinary aspects of ordinary life’, True North supporting the words with misty mountain Bluegrass (“Jeremiah’s Tree”, “Keep the River on Your Right”), front porch jams (“Light by Light”) and Country Folk (“Fine Young Companion”). Oregon-based Kristen Grainger and True North shuffle Bluegrass, Americana, Folk, and Country in their songs, tracing Pacific Northwest Americana onto Ghost Tattoo. Life on the edge finds Ghost Tattootraveling to a bordertown on the chord chops of “Down in the Lonesome Draw” as Kirsten Grainger and True North become the voice of the children separated and detained in “Ghost of Abuelito” while two hearts find each other in the gritty desert dust with “Tattooed Love Song”. The stories of women in power having to fight for each inch they carve out is represented on Ghost Tattoo with “She’s Flies with Her Own Wings” as Kristen Grainger and True North put string band fire into a California trip, covering Bay Area band New Riders of the Purple Sage with their ode to a SoCal musician with “Lonesome L.A. Cowboy”. Listen and buy the music of Kristen Grainger and True North from AMAZON For more information, please visit the Kristen Grainger and True North website
