if you don't know anything about her except she's too much on mtv, i feel
compelled, out of respect, to lay some 411 on you, after which you may feel
free to like or continue to hate as you see fit.
joan has been playing tiny dive clubs in new york for at least 8 years.
she's barely been able to hang on. her album does her incredible voice no
justice. she has one of the all-time great blues voices. to see have
seen her at nightengales, a seedy little dive on the lower east side four or
five years ago, and now, really makes you have faith that someone with
determination and talent can still make it big.
among new york musicians, her grammy nomination was considered a serious
mitzvah.
you can still dislike her though....
