There is something inescapable to her voice. And I mean that literally. It is not smooth and her songs are often not pleasant, but her voice is so compellingly raw that you just have to sit and listen. I played "Just Wanted to See You So Bad" the other day to start my run, and ended up letting the whole cd play. It is hardly exercise music, but I just couldn't turn it off. Her singing makes you want to prepare her a good homecooked meal, serve it with a tall R.C. cola, and let her sleep in a bed with freshly cleaned, line-dried linens.
