Whoa, goosebumps. This chick reminds me of Jeff Buckley for some reason, and that's a good thing. Amazing/tasteful rendition of one of my favorite songs.
wikipedia: Quote:Jeffrey Scott "Jeff" Buckley (November 17, 1966 – May 29, 1997)... was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist... (he) recorded what would be his only studio album, Grace, in 1994. Rolling Stone considers him one of the greatest singers of all time.
RS ranks him #39. They rank his album as the 304th greatest album of all time, which is kind of funny as they only gave it 3 out of 5 stars when it came out.
Though that review said, Quote:Buckley's got huge ears and an even bigger record collection: He jumbles jazz, R&B, blues and rock references with such apparent nonchalance that he can seem like a showoff. His songs are anything but tossed off, and sometimes his meticulous arrangements sound too orchestrated, too ornate. But it may just be that movement and texture mean so much to Buckley that he sometimes gets carried away.
...Buckley's curvy, intuitive vocals tell the main story: His inflections flicker with shadows of Billie Holiday and Chet Baker. Other influences are at work, too. Anxious to make his own mark, Buckley doesn't like to speak much about his father, the late singer/songwriter Tim Buckley. But genes tell a story: The elder Buckley's 1972 treasure Greetings From L.A. shows that father and son share a fondness for jazzy phrasing and wraith-like falsetto effects.
