Kimberley MacGregor - I Am My Own (2015)

With a title like I Am My Own, you might expect an album filled with anthems about inner strength. Singer/guitarist Kimberley MacGregor doesn’t disappoint with her latest soul-blues effort. It’s forceful but not intimidating — her songs tend to slowly sizzle their way into your soul. “I’m OK, I’m OK / Can’t take that away, take that away from me,” she warbles on I’m Okay, a languid number warmed by the twangy notes glinting off a slide guitar.
