Hearing a young, fresh talented voice is an exciting thing. You can tell when someone’s got something going on and Kierstin Gray does. She’s got a Stevie Wonder way with rhythm, a Tracy Chapman way with words and playing chops to spare. Real talent. But the setting leaves a little to be desired. The congenial host opens the program with 20 minutes of keyboard noodling, and fine noodling it is, but it feels a little self-indulgent. Conversational breaks are so-so. Some of the Q&A is good, but there’s way too much talk about upcoming gigs and web sites and things that could be edited out. The idea of a live, relaxed studio session is a fine one. I just think the producer might think about editing it into an hour-long program that more folk-based public radio stations might consider airing.
