This week's pick for World Cafe: Next is Seattle singer-songwriter Star Anna, an up-and-coming artist who's already attracted the attention of hometown musicians, including Pearl Jam's Mike McCready.
Star Anna's new album, Go to Hell, was recorded during a tumultuous stretch for the singer-songwriter; it added to the emotional depth of the songs featured on the record. Listeners can hear and download two of those songs with today's podcast.
