Bona fide rockabilly country (and minor key) queen Eilen Jewell talks about rambling, having famous fans, Loretta Lynn, and American music.

Up to her sixth album, Queen Of The Minor Key, currently-Boston-based honky tonk, rockabilly, gospel and blues singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell garnered some famous fans in British Prime Minister David Cameron and Hollywood good guy Tom Hanks.

We chat to Jewell about how songs dictate style, her Loretta Lynn cover-group that ended up on stage with their subject, the lure of spooky sounds, her famous fans, and heaps more.
