Michael Kelsh : The Great Depression

As a solo artist, kelsh released two critically acclaimed song collections: "ghost dance" and "steel blue ballads". his music soon found the ears of producers and publishers in nashville and since 1993, michael has made music city his home . kelsh quickly found kindred spirits eager to support his artistic vision. his list of collaborators reads like a who's who of today's americana music. michael's live band brings together people like joy lynn white, john cowan, rusty young of poco, stu cole of squirrel nut zippers, bill lloyd and danny flowers. rodney crowell offered his personal recording studio, legendary producer bill halverson (eric clapton, csny, texas tornadoes) helped bring kelsh's unique, heartfelt sound to fruition. michael's new cd "well of mercy" reveals a searcher, a true love believer with a keen poetic voice, and an intimate relationship with hard-won truths.

"Michael Kelsh sings in a whisper that makes you want to listen more closely,
so you can divine the secret - his songs." - Steve Earle

This song, 'The Great Depression' is from Michael's "Well of Mercy" album. I used a few of my own family photos, but mainly the photographs used are from Dorothea Lange's invaluable archival photographs from the Thirties, of the land and people of the Dust Bowl era.
