I really like the f&##smilers album. I also got turned onto her in the Til Tuesday days. I remember reading an interview with them where on their 2nd album they used Rhett Davies as a producer because they admired the sound from Roxy Music's "Avalon" album. I am a huge Bryan Ferry fan and thought Aimee's desire to match the sound standard of Avalon was a terrific goal. Been a fan ever since.
Thoughts on Aimee Mann....
I'm expecting her latest to arrive within hours on lp.
I've seen her twice in the same city. The first time was her last show of her tour. It coincided with the Eastern Music Festival in my town. It was a small college venue. She was upbeat and kind of inspired, upon reflection. She invited several guests to come on stage and play various instruments to one song. It was a great evening!!
I saw her a year later on her f### smilers tour in town. A different venue. She performed alone. The evening was a BIG disappointment! Not only did she have little motivation/interest in being there, the sound was awefull!
I know that she has great songwriting ability. I auditioned her latest before ordering. It seemed exceptional.
Any thoughts!
