With "The Kitchen Sink", Sean Wiggins continues to grow as an artist. Joined by her band "Lone Goat", she once again creates catchy melodies and relatable lyrics. But this time around she seems more comfortable in her own skin. She still sees life's joy and sorrow, but with more mature eyes.

Wiggins has learned to care less about what other people think and focus more on what makes her happy. "Watchin' The World Go By" is an anthem for everyone who needs a little "me time" to stay sane. "Old #7" praises a bottle that contains relaxation, not demons. It's a refreshing change in a world where every other person seems to be in a 12-step program. In "Crazy", she's defiantly proud that her life works for her, and that's what counts.

"Taking It Slow" and "More" could only come from someone experienced enough to know they don't know everything.

She's also not letting herself be taken advantage of anymore. Titles like "You Done Me Wrong" and "I'm Not Your Maid" need no explanation. She also knows life is too short to settle for anything less than the "Whole Enchilada".

As with he previous albums, Sean Wiggins and Lone Goat embrace a variety of musical styles. Sean's traditional blues is still going strong on "Cold Wind" and "Old #7". "Taking It Slow" has a relaxed, folksy feel. Paul Houston's guitar lays down a rock solid country foundation for "Watchin' The World Go By" and "You Done Me Wrong".

Standout tracks:
"Watchin' The World Go By" (your choice of electric or acoustic)
"Taking It Slow"
"Old #7"

Singing, songwriting, recording, and playing lots of gigs may be the traditional way for an independent music artist to get ahead. With the release of “The Kitchen Sink” by Sean Wiggins and her band Lone Goat, the singer shows that the quality of the work may be as important as the quantity.

G-Man: Your songs seem very personal and yet universal at the same time. Is that deliberate, or is that just the result of you writing what you feel and it turns out a lot of us might say “I’ve been there!” as well? 

Sean Wiggins: Some are stories that may not be something I have completely experienced, and is more of a creation from my mind and what I have seen. But mostly they are stories from my life and then as a writer I add to it and make it a better or sadder or funnier story (laughs).

You guys describe the album as having many styles. What are your influences? 

Hmmmm. I love all sorts of music, so I’ve been influenced by many people and styles. Stevie Ray Vaughan, Aerosmith, Joni Mitchel and Alan Jackson, just to name a few.

What is your process when creating a song? 

I usually get a hook in my head, just words or maybe words and a melody. It usually comes to me when I’m driving down the street. I call my machine at home and sing the idea into my machine and then I go from there. I grab my guitar and I start to sing and play with words and chords: they sort of go together for me. After I get the basic idea, I sit and hash out the words.
