*She's a _FAR CRY_ from Minnie Mouse ;)*

Posted over 4 years ago
Gonna make this quick... nearly quittin time & I am looking forward to being like a vegetable when I get home... as Pretty Woman would say... Cop a Squat.Before I go - wanted to let you in on a secret... Minnie Driver can sing. In fact - she's not half bad... might even see if I can pick up this album of hers. I've heard three of the tracks & they all have me tappin my toes & humming along. Not much on YouTube, but I found this one & I am rather fond of it - even on first listen. (I'd also check out Beloved - unbelievably beautiful love song).

    Lizziegreeneyes says The one with RA & the Cs is Beloved - unfortunately I presently only have the snippet in the title bar. It's an amazing song... The video is for *Everything I've Got in My Pocket*

    Augusts1 says I knew she had an album out, read a review about it in Spin that wasn't too favorable about it, not that that kept me from checking it out. I just wasn't that interested in pursuing it. That song/vid you posted isn't too bad though, thanks for posting it LGE.

    moovyphreak says Yep, I discovered this album shortly after it came out. She has a gorgeous voice and a real nice alt-country sound to her music. My favorite tune on the album is "Coming Back to Life," which has an absolutely haunting vocal harmony. For those interested in sampling, they can be here on her website: http://www.minniedriver.com/?id=audio.php

    Mike the Knife says She's for real, Lizzie. Saw a set. She was sweet-voiced and emotive and her songs feel genuine. In terms of on-stsge personality, she's very unaffected and, of course, quite attractive. You may miss her if you blink, but her brief performance as the Russian country singer/bimbo in the James Bond film "Goldeneye" was pretty damned funny (and sexy).

    chucky says Not my thing really but you are right - her voice is very nice. Awhile back (a long while back, ahem) I had a Mila Jovavich CD - you know the model/actress chick? I can't remember now what it sounded like, but I do remember enjoying the hell out of it.

    ketut says Why do I always think of The Mouse & the Motorcyle when I see her name? You don't know either? Crap. Not my cup of tea, but then I lean toward PJ or Sleater Kinney then her or Feist (sorry Mike, most of Feist's songs put me to sleep) Soooo. Lovely weather we're having aint it?
