ANNIVERSARY EDITION

25th Anniversary expanded edition contains five previously unissued tracks recorded live, November 14, 1999 on Mountain Stage. While gigging in Austin, Texas, in the late 1980s, Kelly Willis developed a strong fan base. Among her fans were other Texas musicians like Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith. Griffith introduced her to producer Tony Brown who signed Willis to MCA Records. Soon, she would find herself in the films Thelma And Louise and Bob Roberts, as well as receiving a nomination as Top New Female Vocalist at 1993's Academy of Country Music Awards. After three records on MCA, and an EP on A&M, Willis finished her fifth release and signed with Rykodisc, who released What I Deserve in 1999. Featuring originals by Willis, three co-writes with The Jayhawks' Gary Louris, and songs by Paul Kelly, Paul Westerberg, Nick Drake, Dan Penn, and more-What I eserve became her highest charting album to date, hitting #30 on the Country charts and #24 on Heatseekers Albums. It is also now revered as a landmark release in Alternative Country and Americana circles-with good reason. To celebrate it's 25th Anniversary, What I Deserve returns-expanded with five previously unissued live performances of songs from the album recorded November 14, 1999 on Mountain Stage.
