Kat Edmonson
Kat Edmonson (born August 3, 1983) is an American singer and songwriter who calls her music vintage pop.
In March 2009, her self-released debut album, Take to the Sky, reached the Top 20 on the Billboard magazine jazz chart. Way Down Low was released in 2012, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Her third album, The Big Picture, was released on September 30, 2014.

"You see a show like the one Kat Edmonson put on Tuesday night at Scullers, and you wonder what the heck people are doing at Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry concerts. Really, the world is unjust... Edmonson, a petite singer from Austin, Texas, is at once a throwback and a pioneer. Her intimate vocal style and stage presence recall the heyday of jazz
- she has the expressiveness of Billie Holiday, the elegance of Ella Fitzgerald, and the voice of Blossom Dearie. Yet she doesn't merely retread standards. Sure, she likes her Cole Porter, but she and her pianist/arranger, Kevin Lovejoy, molded and modernized chestnuts like "Just One of Those Things," "Night and Day," and "It's All Right With Me" into entirely fresh tunes with new harmonies, inventive rhythm structures, and sometimes mysterious undertones.
Edmonson has grown quite comfortable inside these songs, taking even more liberties with them than she did on her recent CD, Take to the Sky, which stands among the best records of 2009. Like Holiday, Edmonson likes to sing just behind the beat, which infuses her demure voice with drama and heartbreak.

Kat Edmonson Lyrics
Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your mama's good looking
So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings you're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings and take to the sky
Till that morning there's nothing can harm you
With daddy and mama standing by
One of these mornings you're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings and take to the sky
Till that morning there's nothing can harm you
So hush little baby, don't you cry
Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Leaves drifting by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day
It's a new life and I'm feeling good

One of the best covers of this song. Period.

It's 2 songs merged and mixed into one. A wonderful tribute to Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. Kat Edmonson's voice is soothing and takes one to a memorable moment in the past. I hope I can see her singing live one day of a summer, or a winter, or a fall, or a spring.

Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your mama's good looking
So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings you're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings and take to the sky
Till that morning there's nothing can harm you
With daddy and mama standing by
One of these mornings you're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings and take to the sky
Till that morning there's nothing can harm you
So hush little baby, don't you cry
Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Leaves drifting by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day
It's a new life and I'm feeling good
