Hey Fredster - how you doin? Looked at this because she sounds like the Divine Caro Emerald. BTW - you need to get out more!!

The first ten seconds of this song (the baritone sax) sounds like the music for when the Bumpus' dogs would come over, in the movie "A Christmas Story."

The sax makes it sound like this should be on The Muppet Show.

She's been visiting this area for a number of years, I've always enjoyed her shows.

I think of her as a younger, female Ry Cooder - she has that same understanding of a number of musical genres.

OMG THANK YOU for playing Erin's music on RP. She is from my area, in Tennessee, and I heard her live a couple of years ago here in Chattanooga. She was such a sweet presence on stage, just a guitar and a mic, and told as many stories as she sang songs. I'm proud of her for getting around, to places like paradise, CA. This is just great, thanks RP.
NO, Thank you. Now please go see Rock City and Ruby Falls!

If she ever decides to sell out, she would be a shoe in for the new Wendy's spokesmodel.

Modern it up, lose the drums, an 8.


Then you'd lose the whole theme which makes you appreciate the vocals in the first place.

Wasn't she the lead female for the Squirrel Nut Zippers?
Erin plays with all sorts of folks, apart from her solo career; Voices on the Verge mainly, but also Dan Bern, Andy Stochansky, 10,000 Maniacs, Martin Sexton, and Dar Williams. and I'm not saying she hasn't sung with SNZ but Katharine Whalen is the front woman singer for SNZ. As SNZ follow this track I can better understand the Q?

Sounds like Squirrel Nut Zippers with their Billie Holiday inspired female singer.

I like this tune. Zippy !!

Bill, you read my mind considering that today you played No Doubt after this song. I kept hearing Gwen Stefani in my head while Erin was singing. It seems I should like the McKeown song better, but I just do not.

If you've seen Erin in concert you would never mistake her for Kirsty MacColl. So much voice and energy in such a small person. Definitely not Ms. MacColl. And Erin's lyrics are much more quirky, in a most wonderful way.

Kind of has that French jazz/Django thing going on. That's a good thing.

But too short.

This is why I really like this station. I like Erin, I have her first album. I didn't know she had another one out. Thanks to RP I have another CD to add to my Christmas list.

That describes the song, and the artist, too! I first saw her at a house concert, and she had to perform on a coffee table so that audience could see her. :D

I really like Erin.
