Singer/songwriter Melissa Ferrick emerged in 1994 as part of a group of new female alternative singer/songwriters, much in the vein of Liz Phair. Ferrick began singing in coffeehouses after dropping out of college, eventually winding up in Boston. Her major breakthrough arrived one night when she replaced Morrissey’s opening act less than an hour before showtime. Ferrick’s performance impressed Morrissey and he invited her to open for him during the rest of the tour. The tour earned her a small cult following as well as a contract with Atlantic Records.

I really like her music. Always have. I’d love it if she’d get a bit more “rock and roll” Great voice, tremendous delivery. She’s really attractive, too. She can even play my old Stratocaster! Oh dear, did that sound a bit “suggestive”? Sorry… which door is the closet?

too aggressive? i guess compared to Natasha Bedingfield she is. she's got nothing on Ani DiFranco or Indigo Girls when it comes to aggression though.

gf surprised me with a trip to boston to see kd lang on the first date of her watershed tour. some guy was supposed to open, but he became very ill and had to cancel. so kd called melissa and said "pretty please." melissa made the drive from, like south carolina for the concert that night. a-mazing! i'd been telling my gf to listen to her at least a thousand times, but she never did. when she saw her live--she fell in love. i tried not to flaunt the "i told you so!" too much

@ologramma: imo "everything i need" is her best album but they're all worth picking up.

what "drive" is when i listen to it?: dark room, two bodies, cigarettes smoke, tension - absolutely great stuff Melissa wrote!
