Maybe it's the autumn,
maybe it's the rain,
but I've been listening
to Nellie McKay more and more
as of late.
The two songs included
here, above and below,
feature minimal instrumentation
and are almost a cappella.
Beautiful, sweeping, vintage
tracks that soundtrack the rainfall
throughout Chicago today.
If you need more
from Ms. McKay,
you can start with her
whirlwind double disc
debut, Get Away From Me,
from back in 2004.
