Anyone bought her album? I saw her on Letterman and she blew me away. The snippets I've heard of her album sound pretty good too.

I have her Neptune City album as well as the Bleeding Diamonds EP. The EP isn't bad, but the album is great. The songs are all very strong. I really like the retro-feel to it. I strongly recommend the album and then if you love it, get the EP.

I've also seen her live three times this year. She's from nearby Asbury Park, NJ so she palys in the New York area a lot.

That's what got my attention when she was on Letterman. That retro sound. But it doesn't sound dated at all. Plus she's got a great voice. I'm surprised she isn't getting much attention. I think she's really talented though so it's just a matter of time. I just ordered her album from CD Universe.

Also... I can't resist a chick guitarist biggrin

The one criticism I've read is that she tends to overdo it with her vocals, but I don't think so at all. I love the album. I first heard of her when MTV played the video for "Neptune City" which really plays up the retro theme in her music.

I'm a big fan of female musicians also. smile
