My motherhood addled brain rarely holds onto information that I’ve heard 3 or 4 times…let alone something I’ve heard only once. While up with the babe in the wee hours of the morning, I caught a music video by Tristan Prettyman (apparently those music channels DO play videos…at 3:00 A.M.) When I found myself walking through the house later that day singing the chorus to “Madly”, I knew I was hooked.

I downloaded the whole album without even listening to the rest of the tracks – this is how convinced I was that Tristan Prettyman was going to deliver a solid album. Imagine my joy when I realized that she didn’t just deliver…she rocked my world. It’s been an awfully long time since a new artist inspired me to Google their tour dates, but there I was…jumping up and down because Prettyman will be performing in my neck of the woods in September.

I’m not going to even bother with listing my favorite tracks – they’re all good.

A special note to anyone on my Christmas list – I see a Tristan Prettyman album in your future.
