Country is not my favorite music, but what this woman does with her voice and songs, awakens feelings in me that I thought were long gone. She does a song called "FEELIN' FOR YA" that is one of my top 10 songs of all time. Thank you KELLY WILLIS, for waking me up and letting me know how lucky I am to still play. Ever heard of April Smith ???
Kelly is truly great, has such talent and modesty--classy and elegant on stage and off--seen her for over 20 yrs. and very grateful got to know her and Bruce
Back in the early 90s when Kelly came out with her first album "Bang Bang" I could go from Whitney Houston right to listening to Kelly. Throughout my life as a musician I have always loved a wide variety of music. But now i'm in my mid 50s and there is just nothing like the old school 90s country and pop music to stir the soul and get me tapping my feet. I haven't played in a couple years but I still appreciate good music when I hear it and I haven't heard ANYTHING this good in a very long time. It's been nice growing old with Kelly Willis. Love her music. Always have and always will.
I've known Kelly for 20 years-following her career before the MCA CDs Have seen her in Austin, Houston and Yoakum Texas when she played with Brucie about 5 years ago-I have all of her cds and 45s which I collected-She so personal person and I have intrerviewed her several stories that I wrote when I was at the Wharton Journal-Spectator-Know her husband Bruce really well and have known him about 20 years as well
I saw Amy Farris several times when she was with Kelly. She always had time to chat with me after the gig. I didn't really know her but adored her still. Last year when I saw Kelly play, I asked if we could talk about Amy. Kelly told me when she plays the songs Amy sang harmony on, she can still hear voice.
OK, I'm old and you probably can't do this anymore ! ! ! LOL Stick a Kelly Willis CD on when in the car and you'll find it difficult to move on to another Artist. That's why I alway's caarried 3 of her album's in the car.
Geesh, to think people can stand at a mic and have such vocal talent these days over light shows, auto tune and shaking around like strippers......this is talent...sexy, classy, just love her
how dare u , che is better than anyone who came off of American Idol or the top 40, she is lovely and beautiful and captures the essence of music she is too good for most
It is sad other folks have found fame Kelly and Bruce's music, when it is clear their versions are superior. I have the big C and I hope I get to see her before it is all over.
You can thank (or shit on) Clear Channel Radio for that. When they bought all the major markets the young punks out of college squashed real country music.
@@mandoist I expect Clear Channel had something to do with it, but so did other changes in the music industry. There was massive consolidation among record labels in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In the aftermath, the majors closed a huge number of labels and basically abandoned a generation of artists they should have been nurturing. She was one of them.
the late Amy Ferris--we miss you terribly--such a sweet and talented person--so sad we lost you ten yrs. ago

God Bless Texas

There is a reason for Austin and Nashville. Good reason.
Mighty good. Bitchin guitar solo.
I miss Kelly -
Not sure she has ever gotten what she deserved.
she is still performing--check her on Facebook or Google--she tours in TX a lot

She's just one of those artists who elected never to play by the Music Road playbook.

We all deserve it all! Love some Kelly! You should reach out to Belinda Carlisle for a great duet!
Kelly Willis is fucking great.
Is that John Hiatt doing the introduction?
What's not to love about her?? And I'm sure she makes great mac/ cheese for her kids.
thought it was obama speakin
I couldn't say it better....
Good stuff. A big fan from Seattle say's so. And to AUS10TEX, you nailed it. "There is a reason for Austin and Nashville" This is it.
