I'm going through a space-tiki lounge phase today. Perhaps, I'll even make a Martini.

Almost.

A friend just gave me the Gillian Welch CD. It seems that I will like most anything that T-Bone Burnett has had a hand in.
Haven't heard Diane Birch. Does she do Americana too? Along those lines, we are going to see Brandi Carlisle next month.

Welch's latest release "The Harrow and the Harvest" is also excellent.

I really like her music. There are a few artists that hit you emotionally and for me she's one of them. Eva Cassidy also has that capability along with Gillian Welch's Time (The Revelator).
Here's a clip from an article on her:
Quote:
t's the first track on Birch's new album, Bible Belt. The next song, "Valentino," is dedicated to her imaginary friend from her teenage years.
"I was kind of obsessed with the 18th century, and I felt very misunderstood, and like I had been placed in the wrong time period," she says. "Valentino was a sort of character I created as a sort of muse. In a way, the song is like a little ode to my innocence — it's like a farewell song to that sort of childish imagination. He looked very much like Mozart."
The singer, songwriter and pianist had an eclectic musical upbringing. Her music is filled with the language and sounds of gospel and church music — her father was a preacher. She also lived in Zimbabwe and Australia, where her parents constantly played classical records, as a child.
"I'd wake up to [soprano] Joan Sutherland screaming in my ear," Birch says. "It's an amazing alarm clock — that's the best kind of scream."

Robert Palmer "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley", his first (and, IMO, best) album with help from Little Feat, The Meters and Allen Toussaint.
