For her debut Lagniappe Session, Maisy Owen turns to four songwriters who share her gift for making difficult things sound beautiful. From Rosa Lee Carson’s devastating “The Drinker’s Child,” written when Carson was just fourteen, to Townes Van Zandt’s “Snowin’ on Raton,” David Olney’s “Deeper Well,” and Amy Winehouse’s “What Is It About Men,” Owen follows a thread through country, folk and soul-pop songwriting, finding a sweetness in songs that are anything but sweet.
