Lora's Album Review - 3/1

[lora]

This review is going to be really short because I don't have a lot of in-depth stuff to say about this album.

Joss Stone
The Soul Sessions
2003

This girl is sixteen years old. Six-freakin'-teen! She's got an amazing voice. I was super impressed. If you like any blues at all, you really should check this out.

1. The Chokin' Kind
2. Super Duper Love (Are You Diggin' On Me?) Pt. 1
3. Fell In Love With A Boy
I haven't heard the original of this, but it's a Jack White-penned tune so the sound was probably a lot different from the bluesy tune you hear here.
4. Victim of a Foolish Heart
5. Dirty Man
6. Some Kind of Wonderful
Ten million times better than the last version of this I heard: some girl on American Idol who totally butchered it.
7. I've Fallen In Love With You
8. I Had A Dream
9. All The King's Horses
10. For The Love Of You Pts. 1 & 2
Love this song, and this is a very well done version.

Boy, what's with all these teen prodigy's? LOL! Leann Rimes, Jessica Andrews, now this one.....I like Jessica best though.

Is she strictly the blues?

Sounds interesting!

Actually, she was pop first. Then she got turned on to blues and there's been no turning back!

I've heard a lot about this girl, but never actually heard her singing. Then, the other day, I saw a snippet of her on some Entertainment show, and she sounded really good. I think I'd like her a lot. I'm gonna have to check this CD out.

Joss has a great voice! And she ain't bad to look at either
I saw her on VH-1's Divas 2004, singing with Debbie Harry, "One Way Or Another," no less!

I noticed you're really bringing out some old posts today!

Joss does have a really great voice, but one thing I've disliked about the Divas concerts almost from the start is the fact that they bring in all this young new singers to duet with the vets. They should call it the Divas vs. Diva-Wannabes!
