Theresa Andersson

Theresa Andersson is a one-woman band, and this was never more apparent than when she strolled into the WFUV studios with two engineers, but no band members. She surrounded herself with drums, floor pedals, slide steel guitar and a guitar — all the while singing.

Sampling Smokey Johnson's "I Can't Help It" while channeling the bluesy strength of Dusty Springfield, Andersson crafts a bit of a '60s revival in "Birds Fly Away." Handclaps, soda bottles and dulcimers join an arsenal of guitar, violin, drums and tambourine.
