Kelsey Waldon: A Confessional New Album - Addiction/Recovery eBulletin

TELL IT LIKE IT WAS –

July 3, 2025 – Every Ghost finds the Kentucky songwriter addressing sobriety, trauma, and family dysfunction: “You think you’re done with this thing, and it comes back to you. Every Ghost finds Waldon confronting all the spirits in her life that are haunting her. 

“I shifted,” she says. “I made a lot of transitions until, one day, there was nothing left to do except make art. It was really therapeutic for me, because I put a lot into it, and I saw a lot of myself, too, and a lot of things I thought I was done with. That’s what a ghost is, though. You think you’re done with this thing, and it comes back to you. After 37 years of life, or however old you are, you find yourself going, ‘I thought my trauma was over,’ but they have unfinished business, these little ghosts.
