The singer-songwriter got her start gigging around Memphis before taking off, as artists do, for the towering spectacle of New York City. And unlike most who make the journey, Reilly's efforts were well rewarded, catching the ear of many an influential passersby.
It's been six years since her last release, and in that time Reilly has started a family, moved twice, and toured extensively. In her words, "I work slowly." But in April, Reilly released her long-awaited third album, The Well, which has garnered critical acclaim. In this session, Reilly sits down with XPN's David Dye to discuss her new album and the process of creating it and performs several songs from "The Well."
