Nellie McKay
Nellie McKay - Change the World (AAC)
Last summer I was sampling music at the Border's listening station with my friend and his 14 year-old brother. His brother handed me the headphones and said, "Listen to this crap." So I listened and thought it was kind of good and bought the disc a few days later (because his 14 year-old brother might not think I was cool if I bought that crap in front of him).
Nellie McKay has been described as a cross between Eminem and Doris Day which seems apt. How talented she is is ridiculous. She was 19 when this album was released. It's a bit over-produced. Like some corporate folk discovered her and said "Hey, this kid can sing" and put a lot of $ into it. I bet she would make something just as good sans the session musicians and producers and 20 page cd sleeve. I mean, it's her livelihood and all and I'd prolly sign the big contract. And also, who am I but a humble consumer?
