Little Days - Coming In From Somewhere...

Looking for new music is fun. Actually it's long bouts of frustration punctuated by joy but let's not get bogged down in details. You come across a lot of nice voices. Every so often, though, you come across a voice that makes you sit up. It's not the production or harmonies or overdubs. It's a voice that, when it's on its own, reveals talent to the bone. That's what I heard in Mini Diaz's voice on the Little Days album Coming In From Somewhere... Oh, I love harmonies and overdubs but this was something else. Makes all the digging for new music worth my while, let me tell you. Check out You Make Me Feel and I'm In Love (I'd Say). Can you hear it? How can you not hear it. Combine that special voice with some fine songwriting and restrained production and you have an album you can be proud to tell your friends about. Speaking of proud, Mini and bandmate Jorgen Carlsson are the proud parents of a new baby! That means they are probably more interested in video taping than audio taping right now so a followup album might take some time. I am sure it will be worth the wait.
