Americana singer Lisa Morales is someone we probably ought to be looking out for in 2018, with her song "I Want The Roses" and her album Luna Negra And The Daughter Of The Sun due out in January.
You may have heard of her cousin once or twice, as well:
"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt
