complicated rhyme
A little over a year ago, a friend shared with me Jennifer O'Connor's The Color and the Light. My musical tastes have drifted in recent years, but I still have a soft spot for quality (and mostly female) singer-songwriters with surprising lyrics and a creative approach the genre. The disc didn't grab me at first, but over a few listens I really started to love some of the songs; "Ready to Go" ended up on my list of best songs of 2005.Jennifer's new disc, Over the Mountain, Across the Valley and Back to the Stars, landed this summer. Again, I didn't swoon on first listen, but it grew on me in a very good way. I just reviewed it for CL, and I suspect that the song, "I'll Bring You Home," will make my '06 best list. If you buy it on iTunes, you get three bonus tracks. Neat.

It smells like you get some kickback for plugging her.
Ha. I wish.
If I got kickback from every artist I wrote about, do you think I'd keep my shitty day job?
i hate the fact that i was invited to be part of the chorus, yet my job prevented me from attending the wednesday afternoon recording session.
and yes, i love jennifer. coolest and nicest singer songwriter in nyc.
