Good stuff. I had this playing nonstop in my car until I got the
Garden State
soundtrack.
O'Connor has a gorgeous, gorgeous voice. If you have the Bloodshot 5th anniversary comp, you've heard her -- she covers Tom Waits's "Looks Like I'm Up Shit Creek Again" on it. Also, she sang with the Blacks, who I never liked, but on the other hand, that's her doing justice to "Poor Old Heartsick Me" on the Knitters tribute CD too.
She performs sometimes with Kelly Hogan, and is closest to her in style of the Bloodshot group, I think, though less of a belter. I heard her, Kelly, and John Wesley Harding perform together in New York in September and they sounded just amazing together.
Johnny Mercer And Margaret Whiting
Mmmmmm...Johnny Mercer and Margaret Whiting....

Oh yeah--I remember loving that cover. OK, one more CD goes on the list...
Yo Hec - this post -- DavidS "Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan" Dec 20, 2004 11:30:11 am PST -- is causing some serious right scrollage on my browser. Would you mind fixing?
have any of you heard Frou Frou's album, Details? it quickly became one of my favorite albums ever.
Another artist I've picked up this year who I've really grown to love.
From the Minearverse thread:
I am totally stoned on cold medicine! -- Allyson
This would be a good name for a rock band. -- Narrator
Lester Bangs is smiling at this. In part because Romilar is free in heaven. Hell, too, but I think the big guy's in heaven.
