Joy Lynn White - On Her Own

At 11 tracks, On Her Own - Demos 2002 doesn't commit the modern sin of outstaying its welcome, and yet a whole world of music is in here. Joy Lynn White provides stunning vocals, excellent guitar playing, a world history of musical styles, all achieved with the kind of personal vision that puts you in mind of someone as quirky and original as Jonathan Richman.

These tracks could have been released at any time between 1965 and now, and the timeless quality is matched by the classy songs and performances, from all-out rockers to swampy songs of personal loneliness. Girls With Apartments in Nashville is a cracking track about desperate aspiration, while Good Rockin' Mama is a thundering rhythm 'n' blues 'n' country track that features a soaring lead guitar; and of course she sounds like the Shangri-Las on A Certain Boy. ~ BBC
