For more information on Reckless Heart by Joanne Shaw Taylor:
Awesome musician and performer. I actually first discovered her music about four months ago and she now constitutes about three fourths or more of my listening.
Now own 4 CD’s and the rest of the library will soon be on its way. She is no doubt pretty damned good. Can’t wait for a tour and show in my neck of the woods.
Outstanding singer songwriter and guitarist this just proves it yet agsin
Great song, great voice, I’m gonna have to pick up all her music.
