In March 2014 Shawnee launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund her fourth studio album, A Long and Precious Road, making her case via tribute to Dylan's iconic Subterranean Homesick Blues (though feeling shy about doing it in an actual alley stuck to her home office instead). Written among the cards was, “I'm learning how to ask for help.” It was this vulnerable and honest phrase that struck a chord for Whedon, who, loving her music and her voice, backed the project, taking the first step towards what would become the unlikeliest of creative partnerships. After a mere four months they released Big Giant Me, the first single from a six-song EP they began recording in L.A. this January. “It was so clear that we were speaking the same language,” Joss said in an exclusive interview with BuzzFeed when the song was released. “It's been a little bit magical.” "A soul-drenched song that explodes with emotional imagery and sinks to the depth of your heart as it lifts you into melancholy bliss." ~Peter Kennedy, Back to Eden "This is one of my favorite things ever.
