Continuing in the musical vein, sample a live practice take of an old Shannon Campbell favorite,
and three brand new acoustic recordings from Mieka Pauley (look on the left).
You should recognize Shannon from her Blogathon exploits (and her massive MP3 discography (if you feel lost, try some covers, all are excellent)). As for Mieka, I saw her open for Andy Stochansky this fall and was incredibly impressed with both her agile guitar playing and her absolutely huge R&B flavored voice. Her self-titled 2000 release only hints at the powerful performances she brings to bear, but these new tracks do a better job (especially “Secret“). I missed seeing her last week (damn my Thursday night class, i’m going to miss Peter Mulvey tomorrow night), but i am waiting a new album from her with bated breath.
