Karen Elson released her first album, The Ghost Who Walks via Third Man/XL Recordings yesterday. Recorded at Third Man Studios with Jack White as producer, Karen's solo debut features 11 original compositions which were all written following her 2005 relocation from New York City to the city of country music, Nashville, TN. From tormented blues laments to hauntingly beautiful folk-infused melodies with a traditional country twang, The Ghost Who Walks is a striking combination of Elson's storied musical background, coupled with her newly found Nashville roots.
Karen Elson has also announced the debut video release for the lonesome, traditional folk/country inspired ballad "Cruel Summer," available exclusively on Style.com. View the video here
