* Marcella Detroit is a much-too-unknown performer, and I was surprised to find she did a cover of one of my guilty secret favourite songs, "If You Could Read My Mind."

* And one of my favs from her album Jewel, "Detroit."

* Marcella was one half of the also-fairly-unknown (IMO) group, Shakespeare's Sister.

"Heroine" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhFtJ2V6UsY
"Run Silent Run Deep" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5FYzpK0hNc (lovely video; Marcella is the higher voice)
"Sacred Heart" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12MTbcJGsag

And one direct embed, for a remix of "Dirty Mind" (which is funny cuz it's true):

Not even a guilty favorite of mine. Johnny Cash's version If You Could Read My Mind just about kills me. Just gorgeous. His voice sounds so broken it makes me feel like crying every time I hear it.

I was a fan of Shakespeare's Sister "back in the day". :-)

I know Shakespeare's Sister. I came to them late, when I was in college, but still.
