NPR's Andy Langer reported this morning from music festival bazonkernaire South by Southwest, where a Brooklyn singer-songwriter named Jaymay is turning it up to 11. Langer traces Jaymay's success -- if not her sound -- back to the likes of a certain KT Tunstuall. KT, we loved you way back when.

God bless her. KT used to busk on the street in Burlington Vermont, where I work. Years later I heard Black Horse on a local radio station (WNCS, the kind that still plays music before it is on the top 20) I spent days trying to learn more about the artist. Google failed me, but only because I was spelling her name wrong. Then I paid way too much for the CD from Amazon, because at that point it was only available as an import. Anyhow - she is fantastic!
Love the videos - esp. her loop pedal tutorial. I saw her use it on "Suddenly I See" when she played ACL a couple years ago, and now I have a clearer understanding of the device. =)
