Joss Stone - Soul Sessions

Beat ya' Got mine for $7.99 at Borders. Heard a pre-release promo on NPR and had to have it.

I hope she has plans for more. Considering the discounts, It seems that her CD may not be selling. It would fun to hear her live.

She was on in Toronto last month LIVE on radio 104.5 FM with Roger Ashby and sang several samples. When Roger arrived she was sleeping on the sofa in the lounge and 10 minutes later was in their mini-studio singing live on air. A young woman to watch for. English accent (of course) when she speaks. The voice is distinctive without being brash. All covers of early R&B greats. Apparently she always listened to these artists during her formative years. Buy it!

Saw her on the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to James Brown. Couldn't believe the emotion/soul she sang with. Amazing voice.

CD

I wouldn't associate the discounts of this album with Joss's quality of performance or number of discs that she will sell. I bought my wife's copy of Norah Jones' "Come Away with Me" album at Target when it first came out for $8.99, also. I think we all know that Norah ended up selling a few copies of that album and it is a very popular album.
