48. Kathryn Legendre “Going Crazy”
Kathryn Legendre had been quietly building up a loyal following in the Austin country scene for years before the release of Making It Up but on its centerpiece “Going Crazy” she boldly made the case for herself as Austin’s own Dolly Parton, a smart and sassy singer with ample personality and a brassy voice. Traditional in instrumentation but modern in outlook, “Going Crazy” provides a rousing showcase for Legendre’s melodic charms, as she delivers every line with character and flair. In a just world, “Going Crazy” would have been a major hit, but for now, we’ll just have to be content with Legendre being one of Austin’s best kept secrets. – NH
