Half a dozen CD's arrived at my door last week - all from members of the Square Peg Alliance. I've since determined to A) buy more CDs from each and all of these artists, and B) to tell all my musically discerning friends to do the same. (Maybe I should convice my musically non-discerning friends to buy some quality CDs, too.)
I intend to give a full review of at least one: Jill Phillips' "Nobody's Got it All Together." It's certainly the best album I've heard in the last couple years from ANYONE. Beautiful, memorable music; well-crafted lyrics full of insight, openness and truth. It's keeping me from giving the rest of my new CDs the attention they deserve. Shame on you, Jill.
As I write I'm listening to Sandra McCracken's "Gravity/Love." Does she get tired of being compared to Sheryl Crow? I wonder. She's got what I call a "girl next door" kind of voice - nothing flashy, but very appealing and easy to listen to. I bet she could rock out if she ever felt so inclined.
