Kelly Willis, a powerful voice in Americana and alt-country, began her career in the early ’90s with a major label debut that, despite critical acclaim, didn’t launch her into mainstream stardom. Breaking away from Nashville, she found her artistic footing with 1999’s What I Deserve, a turning point that established her as a respected, independent force in the Austin music scene. Over the years, she’s released six more acclaimed albums, including collaborations with ex-husband Bruce Robison, and now faces a new chapter with resilience and creative determination.
