Product Description
CD Description
On the strength of some high-profile support slots and appearances at the 2008 Glastonbury Festival, Dublin-born rockabilly diva Imelda May's debut album 'Love Tattoo' has won her both critical praise and ardent followers. From the frank and explicit nature of 'Johnny Got A Boom Boom' to the tender intimations of 'Falling In Love With You Again', May asserts herself as a versatile performer with subtle, jazz-influenced inflections. Citing the likes of Billie Holiday and Wanda Jackson as her main influences explains the entertaining dualities in the sound of 'Love Tattoo'.

5.0 out of 5 stars
fantastic voice, the best album I've heard in years, and a great live act too.,
By
This review is from: Love Tattoo (Audio CD)
Take one part Patsy Cline, one part Ella Fitzgerald, add a dollop of Suzy Quatro, back with a really rock'n'roll beat and add a no-nonsense attitude...I've just returned from the cornbury music festival where Imelda and her band did two sets. Having *never* heard of her previously, i was initially a reluctant listener, but by the end of the first number i was a fan. By the end of the second i was hooked. while its a studio recorded (i.e. not a live) album, this cd manages to successfully capture much of her live act's spark. Its very difficult to categorise her sound but if you like a broad range of music that includes blues through to lively rock'n'roll, (or would just like to try something different from bland churned out pop) you should find a great deal to enjoy here. Give it a try and it won't be long before her voodoo's working on you too.

Lively, refreshing and very talented.,

This review is from: Love Tattoo (Audio CD)
Ordered this CD having seen Imelda May on Jules Holland and not disappointed. The best CD I have bought for years, just what is needed for the shortening days. Varied styles giving a mixture of jazz, blues, swing, etc. Obviously a very talented young lady. No matter what your preference in music buy this CD and you will glad you did. Great to hear proper music played by talented musicians.
