Nellie Mckay - Normal As Blueberry Pie
Five - I stumbled across this album the other day and thought I remembered something about Nellie Mckay from a couple of years back, so I decided to grab it.
Four - Normal As Blueberry Pie - A Tribute To Doris Day is one of the strangest tribute albums by one artist I've ever heard, seemingly jumping from music box, to New Orleans jazz, to traditional big band and then to folk.
Three - This is actually Nellie Mckay's fourth album yet this is the first one that is almost all covers songs, and yes, they are all, indeed, Doris Day songs.
Two - There are some nice moments on this record, specifically, "The Very Thought Of You" and "Crazy Rhythm," but I can't see myself playing this any other time or day than Sunday morning while drinking a tea of some sort.
One - Apparently Nellie is quite the thespian and comedienne as well, but watching the below video of her from 5 or so years ago, it seems to me she might make a better lyricist than anything.
