I don't know if you were reading the JMDL when I wrote about seeing RLJ last summer but this was almost my identical reaction. She's genuinely feeling everything she sings and I found out she is very real & very moving. I'm curious what you think of 'Ghostyhead', Michael. It's not the easiest record for me to listen to but I do think it's brilliant. Mark E.
