Courtney Marie Andrews: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
April 3, 2019, Bob Boilen It was a day when sunlight drenched the office and the songs of heart from Courtney Marie Andrews felt right at home. It s been a year since her comforting album, May Your Kindness Remain, came out. Amazingly it s her sixth record, and yet she s still a just few years shy of 30. The opening number here at the Tiny Desk, the album s title track, is a shining example of why the songs of Courtney Marie Andrews endure, beginning with her words, based on friendships, and the understanding of a kind soul. And if your money runs out And your good looks fade May your kindness remain Oh, may your kindness remain Then there s her voice, with a power that feels so unexpected coming from her small frame. Courtney Marie supports the stories she tells with her delicate yet powerful guitar and a band of musicians here at the Tiny Desk with a great understanding of the subtleties that make her music sustain and strengthen over many listens.
