Kat Edmonson

Kat Edmonson’s “Lucky” got some traction thanks to its exposure on the Toni Collette TV series United States of Tara. Her voice—a distinctive mix of pixie coo and bluesy crackle—floats through all kinds of hep retro material on her new album, The Big Picture. With thick sax, schmears of strings and spy guitar, it's a fantastic audition for the next Bond theme.
