It becomes self-evident the moment you hear her sing the very
first note of her very first EP. That EP was called "Like A
Star", and it showcases a slice of sublime Billie Holiday blues
delivered with a voice that pins you, in the softest but most
persuasive of ways, to the wall; a voice that floats...

Jack Johnson has carved out quite a remarkable career on the

If the art of the female singer-songwriter revolves around

debut album from Edinburgh-born chanteuse / guitarist KT
Tunstall--is a pleasing mediation between the traditional
demands of brooding egocentricity (espresso) and frothy
