That Creature Feel
Two
Stones Music, 2006
Thirteen original songs, recorded and mixed
at Spirit Garden Studio by the legendary Bud Snyder, make up this incredible
album. Some of the artists who lent a hand for this project are Gumbi
Ortiz of the Al DiMeola Project; Pedro Arevalo of Dicky Betts and Great
Southern; woodwind wildman Richard "Doc" Burton; blues fiddler, weeping
violinist Richard Leps; harp artist "Skuba" Steve Scott and multi-instrumentalist
Pamela van Kirk. "French Flowers", Krista's much-requested song
about her family's unwitting connection to the bombing of Cambodia by
U.S. military forces during Vietnam, appears on the album. (Click here

One Guitar Woman
Two
Stones Music, 2006
One afternoon, in October of 2006, Krista and
her fiddle accompanist, the incomparable Richard Leps, sat in front of
some microphones at Jesse Schoen's Living Room Studio in NY. With cats
playing around them, and kids stomping through the house, they recorded
eleven tunes, including one ("Wild Hog") by the late Florida folklorist
Will McLean. The magic of the afternoon is captured here in the simplest,
most lovely recording ever made. Songs like "The Road Told Me",
"All the Pretty Girls", "What My Mind Would Never Know",
and the title song, "One-Guitar Woman", are future classics.
So Long Arlington, and Other Stories
Two Stones Music, 2005
Ten beautiful, original songs recorded at Jesse
Schoen's Living Room Studio; a photograph of an artist's yearning, and
her sad and hopeful heart. The Chronogram called So Long Arlington "a
quiet little masterpiece."
