Ok, let’s get this out of the way - no, she’s not Tom’s daughter, but does cover one of his songs here. This is a promo of her debut release Introducing Hope Waits. It’s jazzy. It’s bluesy. It’s folksy. And it’s a great first effort. She’s got an incredibly sultry, sexy, bluesy and jazzy voice. Nice production and she’s got some top- notch players on guitar, keys, percussion, horns. Strong stuff. FCC #1.

*My Favorites*: All of them (except #1 FCC).

1. (3:35) FCC and too bad cause it’s killer.
2. (2:57) Mid. Mellow mood, plodding beat, sultry vocals. Cool organ, and a great horn part.
3. (2:51) Mid. Blues number with nice guitar, organ, tambourine.
4. (4:34) Mid. Tom Waits song done expertly well with a jazzy, lounge-like spin, which includes some accordion and killer guitar.
5. (3:54) Slow. Classic blues number by Henry Glover done more jazzy here. Really heartfelt and beautiful.
6. (3:58) Mid. A bit Bonnie Raitt sounding. Upbeat rockin’ blues with a plodding beat.
7. (4:14) Slow / Mid. Piano, percussion, horns on this love song. Great.
8. (4:21) Mid. Another love song with organ, backing vocals, guitar solo. Really nicely done.
