I can't speak to the guitar playing (it sounds alright to me) but the quality of the vocals on this rendition of 'Rhode Island' is dreadful. I'm not sure what she was trying to do, but her poor diction renders the lyrics almost unintelligible and the speed at which she spews them strips away all their humor - give us a little time to savor them! If you want to hear this song done well, find a copy by John Pizzarelli.
Blossom Dearie sings "Rhode Island" much better. She doesn't divide each word with short, awkward breaths, and end a word abruptly before it's even fully sung. Erin girl has a voice... and she plays amazingly! She also has a really sweet smile that makes up for the way she kind of butchered "Rhode Island'.
But her song "Melody" is reallllllly great. I loved it! I guess some songs are just more fitting for her voice. I'd definitely listen to her sing "Melody" again.
WOW!!! You really knock me out with both your voice and your talent on the guitar. You have a brand new fan.

This is such an amazing song, i love her voice. I want to see an over the top performance for this. Very much one of the coolest American songs.

I love Erin. I used to work at the Bottom Line in NYC and saw her there many times. Does anyone know if this song is original?

This is a refreshing twist. She does a splendid job with this 1941 tune. I really like this young woman's talent. 5 Stars without a doubt!
