On her new album, No Regular Dog, singer-songwriter and guitarist Kelsey Waldon(Opens in a new window) shares a gritty and glorious portrait of living in devotion to your deepest dreams: the brutal self-doubt and unending sacrifice, hard-won wisdom, and sudden moments of unimaginable transcendence. Revealing her supreme gift for spinning harsh truths into songs that soothe and brighten the soul, the Kentucky-bred artist ultimately makes an unassailable case for boldly following your heart—a sentiment perfectly encapsulated in No Regular Dog’s raw and radiant title track.

Benjamin Tod, a Nashville native and the former leader of the Lost Dog Street Band, says of his latest project, “Most of my career has been laser-focused on poetic, piercing songwriting in mainly a folk tradition. I wanted to prove to myself and the industry that I could write an elite country record with ease. Either way, if I didn’t accomplish that goal, I sure as hell came closer than anyone on pop country radio.”
