[Here's the thing]

I was skeptical about this whole Amy thing, but I saw her on Letterman last night...Pretty, pretty, pretty good. I can't get song out of my head. It really reminds me on the Ronettes.

I just bought the Amy Winehouse album at...ummm...a store that was offering it for $7.99.  It doesn't have that new cover (which I prefer) but the Jennifer-Beals-in-"Flashdance" UK one.  I haven't opened it yet.
 
 According to the back of the CD, "Addicted" isn't on it but then neither are "You Know I'm No Good - (featuring Ghostface Killah)" and "Love Is A Losing Game - (Acoustic Demo)."  
 
 Maybe there are two different US versions.

the "You Know I'm No Good - (featuring Ghostface Killah)" is a hidden track and pretty useless inclusion...
 
 So my reaction based on a couple listen is the Alice Smith record is way better and it sounds like the comeback effort of a once popular singer who was down and out more than a second effort. It sounds like Soul music as created on a computer instead of live in a studio. Most of the backing tracks are stiff with the rhythm section plodding along. Amy has a limited vocal range not unlike the singer in the Detroit Cobras, but Rachel Nagy has more passion in her delivery.  To me it's all a bit Lite FM and will stick with Alice Smith, Brazilian Girls and the Detroit Cobras.

 She's been on national TV!!!
 
 When she gonna get booked?
