Title: Got My Own Thing Now
Review: What makes this fine LP for me is Katherine Whalen's voice. The way she hops into a falsetto at the bridge on "Put A Lid On It" gets me going every time, and the same voice has the same effect on me when I hear "Prince Nez." She just kills on "Blue Angel." She's priceless.And this band swings, in that swingin' pre-Swing way. "Hell," which became a surpise MTV fave, is the most modern-sounding thing here, so don't be expecting an insight into youth culture.A lot of this sounds like 4 a.m. in the French quarter. The kind of music you'd want to listen to on a night on the town with Tom Waits.
