🎧 Allison Russell, "The Returner". After seeing her incendiary set at Farm Aid, I dug in to her catalog. She's been around a long time, first as a member of Po' Girl and Birds of Chicago. Her solo albums should be required listening not just for the music, but for the context. Her early life story is heartbreaking - abused by her white-supremacist step-father, she left home at 15. She tells her story thru her songs, and I've linked an interview below.
