Bumper MP3 Crop, One Or Two Ripe Fruits

Here's a round-up of the music I've been recommending this week on Twitter.

For UK Readers

Amazon UK downloads are restricted to UK IP addresses regardless of account status

• Phantom Limb: Last Chance Saloon - Pretty good line-dance-country with a supple, dusky female lead. ****

For US Readers

Amazon US downloads are restricted to verified US account-holders

• Jonas Sees In Color: Loose Threads - Gentle yet rocky ballad reminds me of Vertical Horizon. ****


• Annie Little: Fly Me Away - Twee meets oompahpah with a little coconut percussion thrown in for fun. Maybe seeing the Kindle ad would help? ***


• Lissie: Little Lovin' - Angsty female singer-songwriter starts as a ballad and ends as a stomp. Not bad. ***


• Kirsten DeHaan: 1984 - Breathy stylised female vocals over pulsing guitar track. Can't decide if it's pretentious or interesting. ***.


• Na'Shay: My Mama Ain't Home - Shiny female R&B swing love song like a million others. Sweet, charming, harmless, instantly forgettable. ***


• Dragonette: Pick Up The Phone - Tame, derivative & seemingly manufactured rebel-woman rock. ***
  
  
• Finally, you can get $3 credit to spend on MP3s on Amazon US - only valid until November 30 so go now.
