Imelda May - Mayhem

Imelda May - Love Tattoo

I forgot temporarily how good this is.

Part of review

Imelda May is to rockabilly what Amy Winehouse has been to soul; she's young, fresh and poignant. She's single handedly taken a niche music genre and placed it on the commercial map. In addition, Imelda does not appear to be taking any prisoners. You could hate Cadillacs and despise Elvis and still fall in love with this girl.

Love Tattoo

Irish Rockabilly

'Imelda has shared the stage with Alison Moyet, Dionne Warwick, Bryan Ferry, Anastasia, The Supremes, Sister Sledge, Scissor Sisters, Madeleine Peyroux, Matt Bianco, Elvis Costello, Jools Holland and Elton John. She didn't actually share the stage with Costello but has reported sharing a toilet with him on one occasion. During a show with Elton John she has said she watched from over a balcony. She also spent four years as a vocalist in Mike Sanchez's seven-piece rhythm and blues band'

An excellent set on Jools Holland - so good! Johnny Got A Boom Boom and the beautiful Falling In Love Again.
