Melissa Ferrick .. reminds?

Til You're Dead Melissa Ferrick Fast Car Radio

mellow rock instrumentation folk influences acoustic sonority
repetitive melodic phrasing
extensive vamping major key tonality acoustic rhythm guitars angry lyrics


huh she sounds so familiar, felt like I was placing her, but I don't think I know this name.
so who is it she sounds like? one person or an amalgam? is it the song?
I think maybe it is the song, the instrumentation the line there just like..?

ah under similar songs (love this I love this) indeed ani defranco went thru my mind but discarded bcs this reminds me of someone else (also) who I like better. indigo girls, yes wondering that. but ah maybe it's etheridge, maybe so. I have long very much liked this song:

Loading Sample Playing Sample You Can Sleep While I Drive
by Melissa Etheridge
album Greatest Hits - The Road Less Traveled


but no that doesn't account for the familiarity. maybe it is defranco. maybe so.
well ok think of eteridge We used to love to Dance.

Singer/songwriter Melissa Ferrick emerged in 1994 as part of a group of new female alternative singer/songwriters, much in the vein of Liz Phair.

liz phair? ~ that's not the striking similiarity.

this is getting me enough that I may want to buy this song.
so now the deal is one goes to az to buy albums and one goes to itunes to buy single tracks.
"so pay attention I said" - mm.

Romeo And Juliet
by Indigo Girls
album Rites Of Passage

ok maybe that crossed with ani defranco. good song. goodness there have been good songs I've known... too many~"I don't have any more love songs" had not thought - had undone so many. the abundance is overwhelming.
