Kelley Mc Rae’s ‘‘Never Be’’ is a strong debut for the singer and will please anyone willing to take a chance on someone new. Native from Mississipi, Kelley McRae began her career as an actress studying drama at Southern Methodist University, where her decision to enroll in an elective guitar course provided a change of course. The result was an immediate connection to the craft of songwriting.

Her first album released in 2006, “Never Be” was recorded in Brooklyn. The album is a beautiful reflection of Kelley’s live shows and features the honey-sweet harmonies of Sarah Fullen and Virginia Kull, along with the collaboration of Jake Sanders on resonator guitar and Sean McClowry on upright bass. Produced by J.D. Foster (Calexico, Richard Buckner, Laura Cantrell), the album also showcases the work of Dave Schramm, Ted Reichman and Joan Baez’s longtime drummer, George Javori.

Here is a beautiful East-Coast Canadian Singer-Songwriter that evokes the dreaminess of former Vercua Salt bombshell Nina Gordon’s solo works and Beth Orton’s fragile yet wistful style while paying tribute to Jewel’s vocal sensuality. with the release of her sophomore album Short Stories,Jessica Rhaye ventures into her most musically mature territory yet. An album that features an attractive mix of folk songwriting, modern arrangements and ambitious production, surrounded by Jessica’s magnetizing voice. One listen to the eleven hook-laden tracks of this album and you’ll be struck by the natural, warm, rich and personal songs of this talented singer songwriter.
