What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two).RSS feed

Blue Like That / Melissa Errico
I knew there was something familiar about her name.

That's what got me to stop: the feeling that I'd heard Melissa Errico's name before. But when I listened to the samples of her singing on the iTMS the mystery only deepened. A few seconds of And So It Goes told me that she's from the theater; there's a clarity and a precision to her delivery, a lack of artifice but no lack of warmth. So I went looking for her bio, to confirm my suspicion and to figure out why I knew her name.

Turns out I was right about her theatrical work, although I haven't seen any of her plays. But I did recognize a couple of her TV guest shots: as Lucie Arnaz's daughter in an episode of Law & Order and the cheating ex-wife of the title character in Ed. Neither one tells me much about her ability to act. But of her singing I have no doubts.
