That was great. Hannah reminds me a bit of Chrissy Hynde. Did you ever hear The Pretenders' take on reggae? Loose Screw is my fav album of theirs.
Reminds me of Talking Dreads. I should check in with them again. I wonder if they've ever covered Listening Wind...

The lead singer is from the Tom Tom Club and their reggae reinterpretations were spot on - old skool riddems and ska. Still Waiting - a classic cocaine song - morphed into a perfect pot song. And they did Janis' Take a Little Piece of my Heart, and the Dead's Shakedown Street. I will buy their CD when it's ready. Would've bought it right then and there, which I only do when a band really gets me moving. Next time they come through the Cruz, I'm there.
