Great new video from Imelda May’s upcoming album “Mayhem”. Now, the name of her album isn’t the only reason I’m posting this video. This woman absolutely rocks. Her debut album is superb and gets a lot of playtime in my car and at my desk. Unfortunately I missed her by a week when I was in Ireland (she played at the INEC right next to my hotel). I would love to see her play live. Unfortunately, she’s Irish and is typically playing the EU circuit.
Do yourself a favor and pick up her first album, Love Tattoo.
Nina Simone has always been one of my favorite jazz singers. Something in her delivery has just always hit just perfectly with my tastes in music. With such influential musicians, there are always people covering their songs. Especially in jazz since it’s all about the performance and everyone sings standards at some point in their career.
