I don't usuallly do these NJCs about other artists. If Kenny was still here I might have asked him if he'd heard Laura Cantrell. She's a disk jockey on WFMU in New York who's made a beautiful country album called Not The Trembling Kind. She's got a lovely rootsy voice, slightly less robust than Lucinda Williams. Her songs are emotional and true. She performs in Glasgow on Jan 28th with Suzzy Roche, Iris Dement and Janis Ian. And she's doing a live session on John Peel's show on Feb 1. Philip
