Isn't it great when you hear a new musician--well, new to you--and you can't wait to share? Hey, you gotta check this out.That's what happened to me today when I got this email from someone named Dino C giving me a link to the No Depression site.
Susan Cattaneo is local, as in local to Boston. She teaches songwriting at Berklee, but we won't hold that against her. She doesn't have any videos or other rich media I could steal, so you have to go to her MySpace site to get a good dose of her.
Check out Love Takes What It Takes which starts with a real hard country rock opening and eases into a nice country melody with some pretty standard passages, which all sounds kind of negative the way I just wrote that but her voice and lyrics are sweet and nice and all together it's got the makings of a pop hit. Wrecking Ball is hard and mean and beat up just like the title. Get Back The Longing features Mark Erelli, another local musician who someday, someday, will really get his due. If he's on the disc, it's worth a listen.
She'll be playing at Sally O'Brien's for the next every other Tuesday starting tonight.
