Why Does The Earth Give Us People To Love? Kara Jackson

The debut album from former US National Youth Poet Laureate, Kara Jackson, is a treatise on love, loss, and living backed by Jackson’s cyclical guitar playing and open, inquisitive lyricism.

Brimming with wit and intelligent wordplay, Why Does the Earth… is a real exploration of what it means to live and love with the eye of a critic and the heart of someone who has lived. Filled with minimal, textured backdrops and intimate acoustic guitar, Why Does The Earth… is a truly musical album that shows Jackson’s songwriting skill is as finely tuned as her lyrics. Alternately beautiful and gripping, Jackson’s debut is as good a showcase of songwriting as we’ve seen all year.
