Singer-Songwriter Kyle Alden has left blank the iTunes “genre” listing for his new album, Hello Again Kind Stranger. That may well be deliberate, since the eleven songs on the album defy simple categorization. They run the gamut from folk, to rock, pop, country, and blues. You could call his music Americana, though Californiana might be a more accurate label, since Kyle hails from the Golden State. Specifically Marin County, spiritual home of the Grateful Dead and the San Anselmo Albino Squirrel Society (of which he is a charter member).
