I picked up a new cd (rachel yamagata) yesterday and after listening to it I was convinced I had heard this before. It reminded me strongly of a woman I went to hear shortly after I got to San Francisco(jesse sykes). Despite the obvious name difference, their voices and styles, even their looks are similar. Deep husky voice, long dark hair, and mellow angst-filled music. One disappointment in rachel's CD though was the lack of variety in theme. All had some guy-girl relationship issue. There's more to life than that. Like the music though - it is relaxing. At jesse's performance I even ended up dozing a bit and I'm not a person to fall asleep just anywhere. Of course, a margarita might have had something to do with that too :)
In the end, Lamb - Fear of Fours - is still on the top of my chart.

All good. Sometimes a good producer can 'fix' these things. An album like that may not be representative of what that artist can do, or perhaps it is too representative, who knows? Still, it's a debut, I'm sure she will land on her feet. I could be wrong, but she seems like a smart person.
wrd. I am interested to see how she will grow. meanwhile I will continue to explore other music genres.
