Miss Black America [CD]

Kirby - Miss Black America [CD]

Hailed as "the epitome of Southern Soul" (VIBE) and a "bluesy stroke of brilliance" (Okayplayer), with "a voice molded by the gospel church and a near preternatural handling of the deep-down intensity of the blues" (KCRW), Miss Black America further expands Kirby's mission to reclaim her roots, and bring Mississippi music and culture to the masses. As Elton John recently proclaimed, Kirby is "destined for great things," and with this album, she turns the page on a profound and personal next chapter, daring listeners to hear the foot-stomping, humming and yearning, and transform those sounds into purpose and power.
