Katie Pruitt: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

Музыка

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Ann Powers | October 26, 2020
Katie Pruitt's voice is like a kite soaring through the sky of her songs. Just listen to how it catches the wind in the song that opens her Tiny Desk (home) concert, the title track from her captivating debut, Expectations. "Sometimes I can't get outta my own head," Pruitt begins in a wry monotone that embodies the low mood she's describing. But phrase by phrase, Pruitt builds self-confidence until, by the end, she's fully aloft. Pruitt rides the high of her own chorus without histrionics. Here's an exceptional musician and songwriter who never feels the need to show off.
Throughout this three-song set, recorded in the plant-strewn corner of Nashville's Minutia studio where Expectations was tracked, Pruitt and her two bandmates maintain this tone of steady excellence. She's playing with local treasures Zachariah Witcher on bass and Ross McReynolds on drums, and the trio locks in from the first note, building a cool rock groove as Pruitt unspools her stories. "It's been a hard year," she says. "But one thing about painful experiences is that ... it forces you to grow." Expectations offers myriad scenes of such transformation, documenting Pruitt's journey from a Southern Catholic childhood to adulthood as an out lesbian who, as she sings in "Loving Her," is "staying true to who I am." That song and the heartbreak waltz "Out of the Blue," which completes this set, demonstrate Pruitt's gift: making her particular experiences universally relatable. Like her ace guitar work and that muscular yet weightless voice, these songs inspire with their easy largesse. "Love each other, love yourself, wear a mask!" Pruitt says by way of goodbye, her smile saying, I know you can.

    Katie stayed in my AirBnb room several years ago when she performed in Elkin, NC. I went to her show and was floored by her passion. We sat on the screened porch and talked for hours afterward. She is the real deal and I wish her all the success she desires. Thanks for a great evening Katie! Trish in Lowgap, NC

    Katie is the real deal. Knowing her whole family, I've watched Katie's talent grow and refine. She's an incredible singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Her sense of melody in chordings and solos is beyond her years. Her ability to write haunting lyrics and refrains is from that of a soul of thousands of years old. Keep it up Katie!

    Out of the blue You must've come out of the blue No other color would do We watched the clouds move all around Uncovering feelings unfound And I can't imagine when I can't imagine why I'd ever wanna leave you dear If we stay right here we wouldn't have to worry about anything But the morning came and stole it Out of the blue Your eyes are full of yellows and greens They turn into water and fall from your cheeks Now we're going deep into the dark And it's hard to tell where we are And I can't imagine when I can't imagine why I'd ever wanna leave you dear If we stay right here we wouldn't have to worry about anything But the moment fades and so do you Out of the blue Ooh what a lovely day for loving you Ooh what a lovely day for loving you The sunset it bled orange and red In a perfect explosion behind your head While we're looking up somehow we forget That even the best days will end Now I can't remember when I can't remember why you packed your bags and left me here It's been a whole year since we said we'd never find somebody new Now I hardly ever talk to you But today I stopped and thought of you Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue
