Kristi Stice- Under The Willow
by Tim Wenger
Kristi Stice has that voice- it is the one you can’t stop listening to, the one you can’t turn off. Part Janis Joplin, part pop singer, part something totally new, and her new record Under The Willow brings out each part in fine form.
The album is a smooth ride through Stice’s mind, with imagery from nature and from the front coming out within enticing lyrics and multiple listens necessary to fully appreciate the poetic integrity. If at times a bit slow, the songs serve as a reminder that good poetry is really about the words themselves, and Stice makes that a focal point of her music. “Courage” is sung in French, one of many reasons that this is, at its heart, a worldly record.
