See and Don't See

Apologies to those of you who have been regularly checking the blog during my holiday break. I will return to my regularly-scheduled posting on the 7th.

In the meantime, I have uploaded a new track for your listening pleasure: "See and Don't See," the first track off of Marie "Queenie" Lyons' record, Soul Fever. A friend of mine asked me today if I had discovered any new music lately, and this was one of the first tracks that came to mind. I described Lyons to him as sounding "like the product of a bizarre lesbian pregnancy involving Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin."

I stand by that comparison.

For what it's worth, the rest of the record is just as good as this track. Certainly worth tracking down if you can find it.
