RockferryThis is a great album. I heard the song Mercy on Slacker.com and decided to listen to the some of the other songs so I discount the comments about marketing. I was totally knocked over by Distant Dreamer and Stepping Stone. I kept expecting her vocals and lyrics to digress into a more syrupy, pop style a la Motown. Instead, her smoky, emotional voice just kept drawing me in more and more. I was amazed by her ability to add together a 50's pop style of singing with a very jazzy, bluezy kind of depth. She kind of reminds me of Eva Cassidy. Anyway, don't believe the anti-hype. Find a free internet radio station and try out a few of these songs - you'll see what I'm talking about.
