Alice is the real thing. Fabchannel is preparing a concert of hers that they streamed recently.
^ Cool. I'll keep an eye out for that, Craig.
Based on your post and some stuff I heard on KCRW earlier in the year I'd say she's about 1,000 times better than Amy Winehouse. That one song was cute but her whole deal felt like a gimmick follwed by a disaster. BTW UBM, props to you for putting Joan Osborne on UBM TV, she claimed SARA SMILE for her own on that one.
^ Thanks, Russ. Here's the link, for those who missed the Joan Osborne clip.
She sounds good. You know what is sad though? Amy Winehouse was great. I listen to Frank all the time. She just had it. It's a shame she is FUBAR.
I loooove Alice's music. Peace Resides off of her 2004 CD Under the Munka Moon is a great song. I didn't know she was white until this year! lol
And I am a stan for Joan Osborne!
^ "Stan"... I learned a new slang word. Thanks.
I've been all over her since before I ever heard of any Am Winehouse. Love 'er! Thanks for the free track!
^ I'm way behind most of y'all. I never heard of her till yesterday!
Help a white boy out, "stan"?
UBM, she is worth digging in the crates a bit for - aside from her own albums, search Quantic Soul Orchestra, she sings lead vocals on a number of their songs.
Another goodie, UBM!
Now I have all three of her albums. I was underwhelmed with Estelle, Adele and Duffy, and another whose name escapes me. I even got bored with Joss Stone. I love Amy's stuff, but I cringe when I hear her for obvious reasons. I'm lovin' Alice, though.
