Karen Lovely has a new record label in “Pretty Pear Records” and it seems to be working out for her. Karen’s new release ‘LUCKY GIRL’ now No. 1 on XM Radio Bluesville “Pick to Click” list!!!

The accolades on Karen’s talents are flying, comparing her appearance on the blues scene to that of Janis Joplin’s or Aretha Franklin’s. Prominent promoters are hitching their wagon to her career and with quotes like: “I honestly think Karen Lovely is the most talented singer I have been associated with since my early days with Robert Cray.“- Dennis Walker, multi Grammy and Handy award winning producer (Robert Cray, B.B.
