Nicole Atkins.

Alright. I know you are all thinking, "Hmmm... I thought she said her musical obsessions change every few weeks. I haven't seen a new musical post in a while." WELL HERE IS A FANTASTIC ONE.

I first heard Nicole Atkins in Nashville, TN at the Ryman Auditorium opening up for the Avett Brothers on Halloween. That voice amazed me. She was a great live act. I kind of forgot about her for a while and suddenly, as if some magical musical (god, i love alliteration) force was taking hold of my life, she pops up on my iPod when I had set it to shuffle mode. Yes, yes... magical musical forces are generally the only kind of forces that ever take hold of my life but still... Is that fate or is that fate? The start of a new 2-week obsession. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.


This is my favorite song as of now.
