In the end, three days was all it took to record Kelley Mickwee’s Everything Beautiful. The songs were all written a fair bit before she hunkered down with producer David Boyle and the rest of the players at Austin’s Church House Studios over those three days in October 2023, and overdubs, mixing, and mastering all took a reasonable amount of time after that. But soup to nuts, the whole project — Mickwee’s second solo album, releasing September 27, 2024 — still came together in well under a year. And a mere 10 years after her first one.
Now, that last point merits some clarification. It’s not like Mickwee just up and disappeared after releasing 2014’s You Used to Live Here, her solo debut after spending five years touring and recording with the acclaimed Texas-based Americana band The Trishas (and a handful of years before that in the Memphis duo, Jed and Kelley). She spent several years hosting her own “River Girl Radio” show on Austin’s Sun Radio, and from 2017-2021 performed in front of some of the the biggest audiences of her career as a Shiny Soul Sister in Kevin Russell’s explosively entertaining and wildly popular band Shinyribs. She also sang on a whole bunch of records by friends including Ray Wylie Hubbard, Charley Crockett, Silverada, Owen Temple, and Reckless Kelly, and for the last dozen years (going on 13) has also co-hosted the Red River Songwriters Festival, her annual gathering (and accompanying mini tour) with kindred spirits Susan Gibson, Josh Grider, Drew Kennedy, and Walt Wilkins. https://www.kelleymickwee.com/
