Usually it’s the pain of a broken heart that inspires artists to plumb their emotional depths. On Old Fashioned Gal, songwriter and vocalist Kat Edmonson makes a case for a bitter winter cold being the ticket to tapping into some seriously cool soulful genius. The result is a glorious throwback to the music of Hollywood’s Golden Age with originals that are all at once heartbreaking and uplifting, quirky and witty yet penetrating and ultimately profound. Old Fashioned Gal is not only charming, but also the most provocative (and artistically encouraging) musical time travel experience imaginable.
