ON THE COVER
While Kyla Cross "has been singing since
she was born, practically," her mother Becca
Cross says she has been surprised "by how
long she has pursued the study of balladry.
The history and stories behind the songs are
what fascinate her, and it's really interesting
to see how often in our travels and home-
schooling we come across things that cor-
relate with an Ozark ballad she has studied."
