I had the exact same experience. I enjoyed RLJ but found her borderline pretentious for a long time. It was only live the the sincerity of her vocal idiosyncracies came across for me, and now I think she's just grand. --Michael NP: Sam Phillips, _Martinis & Bikinis_ Speaking of great concerts--saw Sam this Wednesday. No pretense there--I've never seen a "serious" singer-songwriter so comfortable with humor. She performed alone, mostly, with a guitar, so for the songs featuring piano she brandished a small tape recorder and played the instrumental track right into her microphone. Not only was it endearing, but it suited the sound of her new album, _Fan Dance_, perfectly. It was almost like hearing a '40s radio performance--live.
