Kathy Murray & The Kilowatts - Fully Charged 

CONTEMPORARY BLUES/TEXAS BLUES
LABEL: BLUE HEART RECORDS
RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2022

Successful songwriters employ a range of techniques to create their art, often using poetic word play, real life storytelling, fantastical imagery colloquialisms and aphorisms. Acclaimed Texas singer songwriter Kathy Murray earned a Grammy nomination in 2020 for her songwriting skills, after establishing herself as a staple of the Austin music scene. Along with her band leader and partner, Bill Jones, and The Kilowatts, she employs an array of those tactics on their fifth album, “Fully Charged.” An energized collection of eleven new original songs and three fun-loving covers, the recording makes full use of familiar musical motifs spanning the spectrum of Texas styles of blues, country, swamp pop, Zydeco, soul, and rockabilly with new lyrical themes drawing inspiration from life, love, road stories and musical heroes of her beloved Lonestar state.
