Life Of Regret EP

Editorial Reviews
Elizabeth Lenhard, Chicago Magazine, May 2002
"...Ambling crooner of an EP by local twanger extraordinaire Kessler...whiskey-toned and melancholy, just the way we like."

Bobby Reed, Chicago Sun-Times, March 10, 2002
"...Contains the great country couplet: "You want the world on a silver platter/You want my head on there, too."

Album Description
"Life of Regret", the four song debut EP of Kelly Kessler and the Wichita Shut-Ins featuring Lawrence Peters, shines with a loose, energetic roadhouse style. The songs are highlighted by Peters' top-drawer country baritone and Kessler's singular picking and singing.

Three of the tracks on "Life of Regret" were penned by Kessler, the whip-smart and critically praised songwriter of groundbreaking acoustic country duo The Texas Rubies. Plucking fruit from the orchards of disappointment and frustration, these songs range stylistically from straight honky tonk to lamenting shuffle.

For the fourth track, the Shut-Ins turn to the pen of Nashville underground standout Lonesome Bob. They transform his twang-rocking cheating song "Point Of No Return" into a driven country waltz charged with the perils of tempting fate.

No regrets owning this CD.......2002-09-08

The only possible regret you could have with CD is that there isn't more of it. This is real country music of the best kind. It has the purity and simpleness of traditional country along with a unique style all its own. There's a wide variety of sound and emotion here. It goes from the sad and almost mournful "Well of Tears" to the wickedly funny "Life of Regret". In four songs you only get a good taste of the full range of the talent that is Kelly Kessler and the Wichata Shut-ins featuting Lawrence Peters. But what a taste it is!
