Dying Star was co-produced by Kelly and Jarrad K (Kate Nash, Weezer) and recorded at Sonic Ranch in El Paso, TX. It includes 14 songs written/co-written by Kelly and features Kelly (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, xylophone, harmonica), Jarrad K (12-string guitar, background vocals, electric guitar, Rhodes), Tim Kelly (pedal steel), Ian Fitchuk (piano, organ, drums, percussion), Eli Beaird (bass) and Kyle Ryan (banjo) as well as background vocals from Jon Green, Natalie Hemby, Kacey Musgraves, Kate York, Abby Sevigny and Joy Williams. Of the album, Kelly comments, “A lot of my music is focused on suffering, or trying to understand the human condition through the lens of suffering…which probably sounds totally depressing, but it’s actually the flipside of that. Sometimes you’ve gotta go into that darkness-you need to get lost and then figure out for yourself how to find your way back. That’s the only way we can find pure joy, and really be thankful for the life we’ve been given.”

LYRICS
Pretty wings
Your the prettiest thing
Your like Parker Posey in a magazine
with faded jeans and a crop top back in ‘93
I wanna be your dressed in black
Your dark star with a backwards hat
Im gonna write you a book and put your name on every page
Every page
Hey pretty little mockingbird keep singing them sad sad songs
Theres already rain on my window
Im dying when the morning comes
Flew away in the night with a raven
And now im underneath the willows hanging
Im to strung out to be upside down
Pretty little mockingbird sing your song
I was the desert honey you were the sand
I was a bird baby you were the branch
I flew into the blue and watched those flowers dying
It wasn't much just everything
You could have sat right there and got high with me
But you fell asleep and your dreaming brought the nightmares
Brought the nightmares
Hey pretty little mockingbird keep singing them sad sad songs
Theres already rain on my window
Im dying when the morning comes
Flew away in the night with a raven
And now im underneath the willows hanging
Im to strung out to be upside down
Pretty little mockingbird sing me a song
Yeah pretty little mockingbird keep singing them sad sad songs
Theres already rain on my window
Im dying when the morning comes
Flew away in the night with a raven
And now im underneath the willows hanging
Im to strung out to be upside down
Pretty little mockingbird
Pretty little mockingbird sing me a song
