At the risk of confusing you with similar names, we bring you a review from Melissa McClelland, she of a voice like a cool breeze, produced by her husband Luke Doucet. Her new album "Victoria Day" celebrates all kinds of rootsy Americana flavors: a mélange of country, big band, jazz, with a rock and roll sensibility. And of course, anything we can do to bring more women into the spotlight, we are all about that. She recently took a road trip on Route 66 from Chicago to The Santa Monica Pier, which was chronicled for a documentary called "Pedal To Steel." Her new album is available on her website, as well as iTunes. Check out these tracks.
A Girl Can Dream - stripped down soft shoe blues
Glenrio - take a jaunty walk
God Loves Me - haunting gospel
Victoria Day (April Showers) - yum! my favorite track on the album
Victoria Day (May Flowers) - honky tonky part deux
I Blame You - incongruous influences on this great American songbook style track
Brake - heartbreakingly beautiful in its simplicity
-With love from Jessie Scott
