C&L's Late Nite Music Club ... from lnmc.crooksandliars.com
From the album RockferryI heard this song on my radio and I thought it was a great modern update to the female R&B singers stylings of the 60s. Imagine my surprise to find this Welsh woman in her early 20s who looks like she'd be more likely to be Disney's latest pop star, than a R&B songwriter.

The counsel, Reed L. Russell, and two Democratic members of the commission, Stuart J. Ishimaru and Christine M.
