Nashville singer-songwriter Kelsey Waldon is one of a handful of young artists keeping traditional country music alive and well. Signed by the late, great John Prine to his Oh Boy Records label, Waldon is revered for her nuanced, image-rich songwriting as well as her agile voice. *No Regular Dog*, which she recorded alongside producer Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Yelawolf), follows 2019’s *White Noise / White Lines* and builds upon the narrative writing and clear-eyed insight of its predecessor. Highlights include the atmospheric, fiddle-heavy “Sweet Little Girl” and the sweet, tender “Simple as Love.” But “Season’s Ending,” Waldon’s tribute to Prine, is the album’s beating heart.

I am so excited to announce that my new record “No Regular Dog”, produced by Shooter Jennings, will be out on Oh Boy Records and into the world on August 12, 2022. This record feels like a lifetime in the making after all we’ve been through the past couple years, and I am so proud of the stories and songs and what we created. The first single “Sweet Little Girl”, is in part about me, but perhaps it’s also about you. It’s about the rage and unrest inside during a process to find healing. It’s simply just about a gal who is trying to find her way back “home”. I hope y’all enjoy the journey with this album. There is so much more to come and I can’t wait to share it all with you in the months ahead.

Country music's Kelsey Waldon may be from the sticks, but she shows how rural life is far more sophisticated than it seems in 'No Regular Dog'.

For country singer Kelsey Waldon, the path took plenty of perseverance, and if John Prine’s support (and label) might have helped, her success has come through a mixture of work and well-received authenticity.
