Kathleen Edwards joins host Raina Douris
Kathleen Edwards’ 2020 album, Total Freedom, marked her return to music after eight years. Back in 2012, she decided to quit the music business and opened a coffee shop, the aptly named Quitters Coffee. It took an unexpected phone call from Nashville to disrupt her new life and bring her back to music. We’ll hear that story today, and Kathleen performs songs from Total Freedom.
