    This is... nostalgia, in a glorious way. Now, pop music for young people is mils away from this music, which is from sevnty years ago. Today most of the popular music is not recorded in mono, but is put together in a computer using over 64 different tracks. Times sure have changed, and arguably not for the better. It's refreshing to see real people, musicians, playing real instruments live.

      She already is a huge star in the rockabilly world. She's the headliner at Viva Las Vegas this year- the single biggest and most prestigious rockabilly event in the world. She's got millions of fans and she'll soon have millions more. Pay no attention to main stream media.

    • @johnellis572
      @johnellis572 7 років тому +4

      she doesn't need to be a huge star, I love her too the singer and the girl behind the glitz. Great artists are always on the peripheral of public sight. Shane MacGowan is massive in certain circles, he's a hero of mine for his song writing abilities but ask most people in this country and they won't know who he is. I know its a different genre of music, Imelda reminds me of a torchsinger there was an album she made when she sang End Of The World and it really touches me when I have to say goodbye to someone. I like her jerky numbers Johnny Got A Boom Boom that she wrote for John Lee Hooker.
      She fuses modern styles with rockabilly she'll go far no matter what anyone says

    • @johnellis572
      @johnellis572 7 років тому +3

      Unfortunately her next album is not rockabilly, or infused with that same energy. Its a lot more sombre. If you like Lilac Wine you may like that. I've not heard it entirely there are a couple of the new songs on spotify I think. But an artist has to grow and I think shes marvelous
