Native Playlist: Ken Pomeroy and Samantha Crain

Two Native American women from Oklahoma are carving distinct and inviting musical paths through the music world.

Samantha Crain is out with her seventh album. “Gumshoe” offers the latest installment in the veteran Choctaw singer-songwriter’s musical evolution. The cover artwork — a photo of her own beadwork — is a clue to the roots she draws on for strength and inspiration.

And Ken Pomeroy is out with her debut album. “Cruel Joke” invokes a simmering depth of feeling that transcends her young age. She is a natural storyteller from the Cherokee Nation with a lot to say.

Both of these creative artists are added to the Native Playlist at Native America Calling.
