Finding new music to listen to is hard for me because I generally don't like most of the music on radio stations, so I avoid listening to them. I do spend a lot of time listening to the CBC And put up with their occaisional musical interruptions. However, sometimes they play a good piece I haven't heard.

Oh My My is a song by Jill Barber off her new album Chances. I think it is a really great song. I cannot say the same for the rest of the album (but, hey, that is just me). I like this piece because has a wonderful gospel / blues / jazz (in other words, Negro Spiritual) sound to it and she has an awesome voice. (As an aside, it also makes me think of this song.)

You can see a live performance of it on YouTube.

Or you can go to her website and listen to it (you can listen to the whole album if you like). Her website. Click on Click to Listen and select song #4. (Or move the mouse to the top of the page, wait for the menu to drop down and slect Music). I think this version is much better than the one on the video. Tania disagrees with me, she thinks the live recording is better than the CD recording.

My first reaction when I saw the video was: "She's not black".
