Horse Thief by Kristina Stykos
Kristina Stykos's 5th solo album features a healthy handful of elegantly poetic & decidedly unsentimental rural tales, adventures in self-styled folk-rap, unexpected humor, and a few lyrical heart benders, supported by a team of roots-rock and jazz inflected local luminaries.
