I can't believe someone mentioned her! I'm a really big fan. She's got the gift of rhyme for sure. I love 'Dead Flowers', can't wait to hear the rest of the new album. I also agree about Patty Griffin, she can just nail complicated feelings with one phrase. The song she wrote for Miranda, 'Getting Ready' is brilliant.


Oh, and I won't take you up on Tori. She's Marmite music, love it or hate it.
