Eilen Jewell: Whenever somebody tells me I can't do something, that's what I become interested in doing

"Some of my fans don't want me to discuss politics in my songs, which makes me want to discuss politics in my songs even more" - Americana singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell says in a PopMatters interview. She has a new single, 'Crawl' (listen to it below), and a new album 'Gypsy', which were heavily influenced by politics, and society in general: "I started reading and came across this statistic, which stated that women make 79 cents to a man's dollar. To have somebody who is a self-professed pussy grabber as a president, I think makes a lot of women feel like we are 79 cents to a man's dollar".
