FotS Recommend: #1 in an Occasional Series

Catherine Feeny








I came across this artist whilst listening to the wonderful Morning Becomes Eclectic radio show on KCRW. The host of that show, Nick Harcourt, apparently hails from Birmingham, although how he ended up in California I’m unsure. Perhaps he got lost on the way to Birmingham's own Hollywood...?

Anyway – Harcourt played a song called 'Mr Blue' from Catherine’s album Hurricane Glass that grabbed me immediately. She has a great voice which is reminiscent of Suzanne Vega, with whom she has toured. That said, it’s a voice that is all her own and the arrangement on this Mr Blue track is great – subtle, gentle and catchy without appearing to have an obvious hook, which is a neat trick indeed.

You can hear more and buy the album at Catherine’s site.

Enjoy...
