Ms. Shaw may be unheralded now but not for long. New album due out in September, produced by Jim Gaines. Look again at the comments in this YouTube clip (one commenter asked for a stage battle between her and Ana Popovic--love to see that). A wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanne_Shaw_Taylor and her Website: http://www.joanneshawtaylor.com/ << includes a clip recorded live last year in London. Lotsa folks are pimped as "The Next Big Thing" but she has the chops and stage presence (and it is to be hoped, the capacity for growth) to merit the title. English lass, now living in Detroit (or maybe, Windsor, ON). AMG is pretty hip on her, too--she has strong backers/admirerers: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/joanne-sh.../biography
