Most people remember Concrete Blonde from their hit Joey, but it was the follow up album, walking in london, that i really enjoyed. heavy bass, country tinges, a leonard coen influence and a penchant for heart on the sleeve delviery made theses songs part of my high school soundtrack. it also didn't hurt that singer/ bass player Johnette Napolitano delved into her interest into the supernatural for lyrical content. in the end, despite the almost hit "Someday", this album failed to match the sales of the Bloodletting album. that just helped me to feel like i was onto something special that other people just didn't get and that was ok with me.
