Karen Poston - Real Bad

Karen Poston & the Crystal Pistols have been lauded in Austin TX as the best kick-ass country band in town, which is no mean feat in this music city. Real Bad is Poston's solo debut, released in 2001, and sees her bring in a stellar lineup of musicians to help her along.

Both the title track and Poston's version of the Slaid Cleaves hit Lydia feature the wonderful vocals of Kelly Willis. Slaid Cleaves himself turns up on Flowered Dresses. Poston's writing has been compared to Linda Ronstadt, Lucinda Williams and Opry star Connie Smith.

Karen Poston's Band on Real Bad are named after a honky tonk in her hometown of Ohio, and they have worked with artists such as The Derailers, Dale Watson and Charlie Robison. The energy and verve of her famous live shows are captured here
