Editor's note

Emily Kinney's folk-blues songs of resilience

A Nebraska singer-songwriter whose introspective tracks like 'Jar Of Hearts' and 'Berkeley's Breathing' map personal terrain.

For a sense of her range, try 'Berkeley's Breathing' next to 'Drunk And Lost'. They're both quiet, but they pull in different directions.

Kinney's music has a plainspoken emotional weight that sticks with you. Songs like 'Jar Of Hearts' and 'Be Good' don't dress things up, they just land. Her 2020 album 'Quarantine Dreams' dealt directly with loss and getting through, which felt honest when it arrived.

She released 'Expired Love' in 2016 and 'Oh Jonathan' in 2019, with a break around 2017 after some public attention to her personal life. Kinney returned to recording afterward, working with musicians like Daniel Bornstein and performing with artists including Neko Case.
