Kelsey Waldon Flower Power
Kentuckian Kelsey Waldon fertilizes her floral favourites as she boomerangs to our show.

Waldon, now 38, has her name etched on the welcome sign to her hometown – Monkey’s Eyebrow in Kentucky coal country.
Tiger Lillies is on her seventh album Every Ghost on the late John Prine’s Oh Boy records.
“As a Kentuckian, I grew up seeing signs like this all over my beloved home state – ‘Home Of’ Merle Travis, Bill Monroe, Loretta Lynn, Keith Whitley, Ricky Skaggs, Dwight Yoakam, Patty Loveless, Tom T Hall, all of Country Music Highway 23 and countless others,” Kelsey revealed.
“Add this to the list of proud moments. Thank-you Ballard County officials for making it happen. It means a lot.”
Ballard County is shaped as a monkey’s head and Monkey’s Eyebrow is where the eyebrow would be or how the town looks like an eyebrow from nearby hills or the local general store once only considered good enough for “a bunch of monkeys.”
Waldon previously fronted Nu Country TV with Travelling The Highway Home, Hello Stranger – A.P. Carter song – and Tall And Mighty from sixth album No Regular Dog that Shooter Jennings produced.
She also graced our show with Sweet Little Girl from No Regular Dog and Anyhow from third album White Noise/ White Lines she produced with Dan Knobler.
