| Shannon Wardrop - I Wanna Be Your Lady |
There are literally hundreds of
female singer-songwriters on the scene at the moment. So many that I sometimes
wonder if they are just roaming the streets with tousled hair, a guitar and a
pair of brown leather shoes. Shannon Wardrop is the next one of these to walk
around the street corner but the Maidenhead maid has something different about
her and 'I Wanna Be Your Lady' is the perfect example of just how she stands
out from the crowd. The free download is knee deep in influences but Wardrop
has been stomping so hard that they're indistinguishable from one another. I
detect some Sheryl Crow and Aimee Mann in the vocal delivery, some Belly in the
drum sounds and some Violent Femmes and Indigo Girls in the guitar qualities.
However, it is the laid back influence of the 60s and 70s that you really don't
expect. From West Coast freak outs to the influences of Indian music brought to
Western ears by the Beatles et al, Wardrop has clearly grown up in a house with
an outstanding record collection and we are all now reaping the rewards.
