There's a lot of nice music floating around the UK Top 40 radio airwaves this time of year. Leona Lewis, Alicia Keys, Timbaland Presents One Republic, and the group that sang 'Uninvited'-- good stuff, all. Worth downloading.
But this is talent!
Amy Macdonald -- Mr Rock and Roll
Talk about a lovely folk/pop song. Very Gordon Lightfoot indeed. Amy Macdonald is only twenty years old. Scottish. Influenced by Travis and The Libertines, apparently. (I have to stop researching posts on Wikipedia! Although I did remember she was Scottish. Virgin Radio made a point of it.)
I suppose as you get older you more and more frequently find that you're older than the best new talent out there, in whichever field. It's still disconcerting, though, having the fact that you're a nobody drilled into you.
Tried to upload some photos but Blogger is being temperamental. Look her up on Google's image search.
