I was first introduced to Jonatha Brooke's music when I heard "Nothing Sacred" on a compilation cd. I've been a big fan since then. I've seen her in concert three times, but she hasn't come back to Atlanta in forever, so it's been a while. She uses such interesting tunings and has a beautiful voice. She is so underrated....again - the music business officially sucks because a great artist l...

I was reminded of a few debates on MOG about TV themes - the good and the bad - as I watched an episode of Joss Whedon's latest series, "Dollhouse," on Friday night.

This is an outstanding song off the new Jonatha Brooke album -- The Works. She wrote the music with Woody lyrics.She's backed by Steve Gadd on drums, Joe Sample on keyboards, Christian McBride on bass with guests Derek Trucks, Glen Phillips, Eric Bazilian and Keb' Mo'.You can debate the originality of the idea, but not the quality of this and a few of the other tracks.
