by Pixies is also referring to him I believe. Wish I was in London.

Frustrating how few visiting artists can play beyond London, it's just the raw economics of it. I saw the Pixies at Alexandra Palace a few years back and when they played Allison the place erupted, actually shook with people jumping up and down. The venue's on top of a hill that it seemed we might have been heading down any moment. Not sure they all knew it was about Mose from Mississippi...

Shame.

No jazz though. It's sorta country music. Great lyrics. My favourite is "One Thing In Mind" from the album 'Sad Girl'. "The Whiskey Makes You Sweeter" is her song.

She has a very distinctive voice that may put people off. Hard to describe it but high pitched and nasal is about right.

out this month: 'Sheffield Streets' featuring Elvis Costello and Van Dyke Parks. There's a clip of her and Mose dueting on her website http://www.amyallisonmusic.com/

I just had a listen to Amy on Spotify. Frankly, I almost burst out laughing as she started to sing. The music's good though - so I will give it a further try - but that her voice is "an acquired taste" may be a reasonable assessment

I'll see if I can get the Light to take me along to Pizza Express for Mose for a Dad's day treat - although, it's around the corner from where I work and I hate coming into the area at weekends

but it'd be worth it Sheev. Amy is worth sticking with too, some real gems in there. Our Beloved Leader (Heppo) said that Amy gets very good after a glass of red wine - and I think he meant him drinking it not her.

so much. That's all I have to say.

i join the Amy love in. i do love the fact you can always find someone that likes the same music as you on this blog.
