Aimee Mann Rocks (and 'Charm's) Carnegie Hall | Billboard.com

Just saw this review of Aimee Mann playing Carnegie Hall over the weekend. Aimee is one of the great American songwriter's at a time when unfortunately pop music seems to be burying what is called "rock and roll". Aimee is a great talent, her solo album's are all excellent. I just did a post on the Kink's versus the Beatles and the relation to that post and this one is that Aimee is in my opinion a next generation songwriter whose influences can be seen from the Beatles, the Kinks, and others. Aimee has been very active is supporting those influences as evidenced by her involvement in tribute records-Badfinger-her cover of Baby Blue is excellent. She also covered One by Harry Nilsson on the For the Love of Harry tribute record which she did in the Carnegie Hall concert-again excellent cover. I want to ensure that while her "cover" versions are excellent, so are each and every one of her solo albums. I heartily recommend her CD's. Her husband, Michael Penn is also excellent, under-rated, and also under appreciated. If FM radio had some gonads-you would be hearing both of their songs on a regular basis. Check her out.
