Good drumming.  Where have I heard that style before?
A 7 off the top.
that acoustic guitar with the Big Drum sound (almost Bonzo-like) is very winning. don't even care if she's singing about the Dewey Decimal System!
zRipple-y Cane?

I didn't think I liked this...then it kind of started getting better. It seems sort of predictable, and then it moves just a little bit and gets better.   
Not bad at all. Quite reminds me of a UK artist called Thea Gilmore (particularly on her Rules for Jokers album).
AHHH thats who she reminds me of. CARLY SIMON!!!!  I really like this song allot. Great guitar work I might add.

that's a her singing? shut the white out?
Wow - I don't think I've ever seen the comments so pointedly divided - love or hate, no in between! Not sure if that's good or bad...

Sorry, gang. There were a few moments. Then, I started hearing plenty of other songs like this in my head. Can't get behind this one. What sets artists apart for me when they blend in like this is a live show. Won't have that option, though.
started at a 5 at the beginning. now its a 7. this is a very nice song.
A nice celebration......damn fine lyrics! Winner! Humourous cover art too...........

I'm with you. Never heard her before, but that voice made me stop and look. Nice. c.
Where's my bong ? Actually, don't think that'll help.

Just love that voice. Just bought CD on cdbaby.com.
Too cool to hear a national play from a gal I actually performed with in Chicago back in '98. She had some very cool stuff back then (time signature changes, different kinds of melodies). It was a pleasure to play with her. Go figure that its her real name too!
ugh
Good run, Bill!

Good voice, week song- nothing different from any other typical average "I am a depresed girl with broken heart or some other problems" song
i'm a sucker for a voice like this.
Anyone no more about this album? Is the rest as good as this?
wow thanks rp! never heard of ms cain before, truly lovely!
Nice!

MMMM... this is lovely
As I think I mentioned in the LRC comments forum when this was in review, this is exactly the kind of music I listen to RP to find. Just wonderful.
Nice powerful voice...........
