If you like Beth Orton, you’ll like Meg Hutchinson. Both artists share the same preference for smart lyrics, thoughtful songs, and distinctive voices. Meg Hutchinson’s latest CD, The Living Side, explores various moods. “Being Happy” and “At First It Was Fun” take ironic views of life. “See Me Now” presents an assessment of Meg’s life so far. This is a quiet, reflective CD that invites multiple playings. To sample Meg’s solo performance, just click on PLAY below. GRADE: B+
Like Beth Orton. Do you like Cat Powers?
Love Cat Powers, Patti! Meg Hutchinson is a bit more mellow.
They used her music in Broken Embraces–one piece anyway. Always distinctive, isn’t she?
I like Cat Powers’ intensity, Patti. I’m sure her music will find its way into more movies and TV shows.
Sharon Jonew and the Dap Kings were on COLBERT….

Thanks for the link, Todd! I missed Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings on COLBERT, but thank to you, I was able to enjoy their fine performance! As you know, I think they’re terrific.
