When you think about country music, what comes to mind? If you answered big hats, heartbreak, and Hank Williams you'd be right, but if you dig a little deeper into America’s heartland, you can also find some new and diverse faces.
The band Karen and The Sorrows, named a country group to watch by Rolling Stone, just released their second album last month, called "The Narrow Place." Sometimes people put country music in a narrow place — but this band does everything in their power to escape that.
Here, band members Karen Pittleman, Tami Johnson, Elana Redfield, and Gerard Kouwenhoven weigh in on the changing sound of country, and their new album.
