Her friend Jesse Harris writes great songs.. She does a Hank Williams song nothing less than transcendantly etherial. Her voice sounding much older than her 23 years..a little Billy Holiday...a little Sarah Vaughn..and maybe even a little Ray Charles influenced, but with a wholly original timbre. Yes the music that is out there (commercially speaking-available through mass media) is by and large pathetic, but these days no one wonders why Eva Cassidy died without a record deal and Coldplay seems nothing if not melodically and percussively unique. Give the girl a break ..the rest of us did. 4048@blogcritics.org Sat, 1 Mar 2003 01:35:56 EST
