Littlebear Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 My wife and I saw her open for Billy Bragg a year or two ago and were blown away by how funny and how talented she is. When I saw she was opening, I really only know "I Kissed a Girl" and couldn't really figure out why she was opening for Billy Bragg. But she turned out to be really great. I never had the joy to see her live, but have an idea of how her shows look and sound like, after I purchased a rare DVD of a show she did in Pittsburgh in 2003. She's really attaching and personal, she makes me laugh and can also move me to tears. I share her love for sweet pop hooks and heartbreaking, naked ballads. Her voice can sound too cute at first, but is actually more mature and affecting than we think. She wrote a song about Bobbie Gentry lately, I hope it'll be on her next album. I have all of her CDs (six). It's fun to be on her newsletter. There's also her site when you can read her journal, it's always funny. If you like her, you may enjoy Amy Rigby, too. Much wit and good taste in music. Fine songs and lots of charm. Like Jill, no much money, and many tours alone on guitar, but well-produced and rewarding CDs. More rewarding than so much other musics I could listen to. One just has to give it some time, or to connect personally one way or another, I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Littlebear Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Favorite album for each year of the past 50 I see you have nothing for 1981. So let me suggest Fire Of Love by The Gun Club to you. If you've never heard that, you may be stunned. Simply put, it's the best rock album of all time, along with the Stooges' Raw Power. Other gems of 1981: The Cramps' Psychedelic Jungle and The Undertones' Positive Touch.
