I liked the songs this month. It was also good to be back. She did play a new song by the Wallflowers that sounded NOTHING like the old Wallflowers. Which she mentioned before she played it. Wasn't bad, but I definitely like the old stuff much better.
The band that played after was excellent. Maria Rose and the Swiss Kicks (crap! I meant to buy music and talk to them after!) were more rock than what Ann Delisi's had for closeout bands recently, which was nice. But they were still very varied. They had songs that were country crossover lean and songs that were R&B. I really don't know what to call them! Maria Rose dressed the eccentric part, though. She was also more active than the rest of the band...and more than recent bands have been. These guys were definitely easier to get into. Part of this may be that they're more up my alley. One of my fellow listeners, Norah, described her as having "powerful vocals."
