Kelly Willis is an extremely talented singer and songwriter who spent a lot of time living and performing in Austin, TX. Actually, because of her nomadic background, I could have put her in Virginia (where she went to high school) , or North Carolina, or even Kansas. But Texas is where she has made a lot of her music.
Besides, no matter where I put her, she'd be the second post of the day.
Anyway, she's a fantastic singer/songwriter. But she didn't write this one. It's a cover, of a song originally performed by Kirsty MacColl - who is British. It is a delightful folk song but Kelly Willis puts a bit of twang on it - and makes it her own, so much so that a lot of people think it IS hers.
From her 2002 album Easy, here it is.
