Joan Shelley – “Here In The High And Low”

We’re just three days away from another excellent Joan Shelley album. The Louisville-bred, Michigan-based folk singer-songwriter has been building up to Real Warmth, and she’s teasing it today with a music video for opening track “Here In The High And Low.” The song brings more rock-band oomph to Shelley’s old-time acoustic elegance than usual, wrangling the services of Ben Whitely on bass, organ, and electric guitar, Philip Melanson on drums, Matt Kelley on Wurlitzer, and Karen Ng on flute. Shelley’s 3-year-old daughter Tayla also features on backing vocals.
