That would be me.There was no contest-it was the best album I heard all
year.Bill DeMain is a total pop genius.Lot of nice co-writers such as Jill
Sobule and Marshall Crenshaw.Molly's singing is beautiful.This is their
"strings" album.When they previewed it live in Nashville they performed with
a string quartet.Most of their previous work is more upbeat pop-in the
Bacharach vein.You are in for a treat discovering their wonder.The 2 must
have albums are "Swan Dive" on the Compass label and "June".But everything
is worth hearing.Trust me on this.
