Artist: Kristina Olsen

She always signs her letters, "Love, Kristina". Maybe because she can't spell "Sincerely Yours". She likes four letter words. They get the point across. They hardly ever have double letters.

Kristina Olsen's record Love, Kristina is one of my favorites. She has the above-referenced acapella half-apology for her spelling, as well as a song for battered women called "Keeping This Life Of Mine" and a lighthearted ditty called "Little Brother Sure Can Dance". And many more delightful songs, all wrapped up in her strong, slightly jazzy voice. Moreover, when I emailed her a couple of years ago, she actually emailed me back! So she's nice, to boot!

Here's Kristina's own web site: www.kristinaolsen.net. You should go there! Someone named Adrian says that my putting this link in there would make Kristina "chuffed". I really think that's a good thing, but I'm not sure.* There is also a bio of Kristina Olsen at the Rounder Records site.

*"Chuffed is Old Anglo-Saxon for very pleased." -Adrian There. Your word for the day.

You can also garner info from online record store CDNow, but it's probably better to support your local, non-chain-owned record store with your purchases!
