Not bad. I just wish producers would bring actual instruments into the studio for artists like this.

Hmm... Something about that first track sounded like digital software to me. But obviously those others would indicate differently.

Good stuff. Glad to get some variety in genres round here.

Very nice. Reminds me a little of 90's pop crooner Natalie Imbruglia.

Real nice stuff. That album was produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys which, once you listen to it, makes total sense.

Love the double tracking vocals and horns on Working Woman Blues. The odd, midrangey EQ just gives it more flavor.

I've heard working woman's blues and pushing up against a stone on the radio for awhile and listened to a world cafe episode she did.

She kicks ass man.

Hell of a voice.
