Surprised they put her 2nd one on rther than the first, and that The Family wasn't on here.

But nice to see her get some props. And love the "Sheila E wannabe" comment.

36. Ta Mara and the Seen, Blueberry Gossip (1988)

The phrase “blueberry gossip” sounds like the kind of delightful nonsense you’d find on one of Prince’s lyric sheets, and no wonder: Ta Mara and the Seen were Twin Cities–based exponents of the “Minneapolis sound.” They were Prince wannabes, in other words—or, to be precise, Sheila E. wannabes. There are worse things to be, especially when your album is produced by Jesse Johnson, of the Time, and when “Blueberry Gossip” turns out to be this funky.

I like both of her albums. Blueberry Gossip was underrated. It didn't have a knockout

single to help the album take off plus the album was delayed and basically had no

promotion. Of course the first album would be better because of the singles that

did well but I thought Blueberry Gossip had a little more depth. David Cochrane was

very involved in the project along with Jesse producing.

I have tried to like this record but I think the song writing is weak. I'll give it another listen though. Thanks for posting the info.
