I am going to shoot you straight, I have never been a big country fan. But I always make sure that I give credit when it is due. Kelli has a wonderful voice and presence as well as a solid, groovin' band ta boot. Check out this track called
Two Steps To Heaven and this live track
Big Black Bus. If you enjoy what you hear, check out her website www.kelli.com or her blog www.kelli.com/blog
Biography (from www.kelli.com)
Kelli, daughter of Country singer Johnny Lidell (
Primrose Lane), remembers growing up with the likes of Merle Haggard, Dave Dudley, Bobby Bare and Elvis. You can hear those experiences in her voice when she takes on
Your Cheating Heart and
Crazy.
After signing with Scotti brothers, her career was destroyed by a car accident that took 10 years to recover from. Kelli went on to produce 7 albums, receiving significant air play in America and Europe as well as an invitation to sing with Crystal Gayle at the Ryman Auditorium.
In early 2006 Kelli assembled players for her new band, The ShadowMen consisting of drums, bass, guitar and keyboards. Focusing on new material, Kelli developed the jams from the room into original songs such as:
Big Black Bus and
Can’t as well as putting her signature on classic tracks like:
Me & Bobby McGee and
Ain’t No Sunshine When He’s Gone.
