Video Premiere: Karen Jonas “The Circus”

From her third album, Butter, released earlier this year, comes this deceptively simple song from Karen Jonas. As she says, it’s a song “reflecting on the absurdity of the life of a full-time touring musician and the myriad characters one meets along the way from the perspective of a mother of four.” Very much in the classic country mould with some added folk, blues and the like, it’s quietly excellent.
