Foothill Dandy by Cyndi Boste

I'm listening to Cyndi Boste's latest album, Foothill Dandy, and love it. I ain't no music reviewer so I won't even try, but this is good stuff. American-style bluesy country but with Cyndi's own brand burned into it, with great singing (as always), engaging melodies, good backup band and lyrics worth reading. The link above has some sample mp3s.

"Listeners report hearing echoes of Tom Petty, KD Lang, Roy Orbison, Bobby Gentry, The Byrds and JJ Cale, and though the strength, raunch and warm maturity of Cyndi’s voice evoke names such as Lucinda Williams and Bonnie Raitt, she’s more your gutsy inner-city kid than your country diva."
