Krislyn Arthurs is most definitely not your girl-next-door type. There is nothing traditional about her save fora long family tradition of trailer park society and small-town captivity. Leather halters and cowboy boots, jet black hair, and some might think, a jet-black heart to match judging by the content of her songs…but they would be wrong about that. Oh yea, Krislyn is a bit rough around the edges, but she is also 100% female nursing her fair share of vulnerabilities. And like most songwriters of her caliber, her ability to provide a lifeboat while opening the floodgates is a mastery only devout self-reflection can foster. Songs about bootleggin,’ killin’, crooked politicians, dirty preachers, cheatin’ beauty queens and psycho girlfriends; combined it sounds like a Quentin Tarantino film, but if you ask Krislyn, she will tell you it’s all 90% autobiographical. The other 10%? Well, some of those are the “what could have beens” had a wiser head not prevailed.
