NEW NELLIE McKAY album PRETTY LITTLE HEAD features duets with Cyndi Lauper and k.d. lang - In Stores Tuesday, October 18

Featuring a kaleidoscopic selection of tracks culled from 23 new songs written by McKay for the album, Pretty Little Head premieres duets with Cyndi Lauper ("Beecharmer") and k.d. lang ("We Had It Right") as well as an assortment of provocative new compositions including "Columbia Is Bleeding" ("...it's turned into a real rock tune..."), "Cupcake" ("...about gay marriage..."), and "The Big One" ("...about a tenant's rights activist...").
Working with a group of "wonderful musicians," Nellie McKay sings and plays piano--as well as cello, vibes, and synthesizer--on Pretty Little Head.


I dig Nellie. Sounds cool.

I still haven't got her first album though I always meant to. She sounds cool and maybe i'll pick up the new one when it comes out. I wish she would do some faster or heavier songs though.

I just read about this over at Billboard.com. Nellie's album was my #1 CD of last year. I love listening to the 5.1 surround sound version. And her live show was one of the wackiest I've ever seen. She's a hoot.
