Heather O’Neill – Lady Blue

Heather O’Neill is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Her first showbiz job was passing out flyers for an English band in Liverpool when she was 16.

“I’ve had my share of interesting day jobs,” she says. “A barista in New York City, an extra in L.A., a record store employee in Chicago. Remember those?”

Lately she’s been living in Chicago and writing solid melodies that blend blues, folk, rock, funk and nocturnal jazz. She then adds intelligent, unorthodox lyrics and delivers them with a crisp and sultry voice.

I like this song. I like the honesty and darkly emotional hooks. Guitar playing on this track is haunting and tender and perfectly complements her voice.

Please give it a listen.
