Most of her stuff falls more into that category, or blues. She doesn't really have a particular genre. <br /><br />The really astounding part: She's only 21. (Might be 22 by now; point still stands.) <br /><br />If you want to hear an absolute heartbreaker, track down and listen to "Someone Like You".Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952078709114872197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-55887012863643611022011-09-04T13:33:54.598-04:002011-09-04T13:33:54.598-04:00I just recently found Adele myself.

It's like she's the English, female Mel Tillis, sans stutter.<br /><br />You should also find her singing "If It Hadn't Been for Love". It's more bluesy bluegrass and she knocks the hell out of it.

That made them inaccessible to people who just wanted to listen to music, and their fan base degenerated into a cult following that sneered at "commercial appeal".<br /><br />Ms. Johnson has migrated, or dropped in, from a shim where Fats Waller lived to be 80 and was #1 on the charts from May to October of 1959. If it was an accident the SP may let her stay, but they take a dim view of people who mess up the continua on purpose.<br /><br />Regards,<br />RicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-75678942865142915292011-09-04T04:43:07.740-04:002011-09-04T04:43:07.740-04:00Staff SGT.
