Cavazos, Kiki
Goodbye Blues
Recorded in New Orleans, 'Goodbye Blues' marks the emergence of a songwriting talent with power comparable to that of Blaze Foley or Townes Van Zandt. Time spent drifting from the northwest to Mexico to New Orleans and now to Montana has kept her off of the industry's radar until recently. Now, following her Newport Folk Fest appearance, she opened concerts for Big Thief and the Deslondes. Her performances on the Western AF have combined to garner over 200k views with the tastemaker site calling her "the GOAT." Cavazos' fans include Esther Rose, Benjamin Todd (Lost Dog Street Band), Riley Downing, Chris Acker, and Luke Bell. She collaborated as a member of a band (called Sundown) with Alynda Lee Segarra (of Hurray For the Riff Raff) and Sam Doores (of The Deslondes), the latter of whom produced this album. RIYL: Lucinda Williams, Blaze Foley, Karen Dalton.
