Loved this album (Martinis and Bikinis) more than her subsequent ones, but she has a great sound.
Cruel Inventions is one of my favorite albums of the 90s
This song has been in my YouTube MusicVids playlist for years. (I should get the album.)
Love Sam Phillips, one of my favorites is Omnipop (It's Only a Flesh Wound Lambchop). Someone with a somewhat similar sound, especially her more recent discs (Movie Disaster Music and Pussycat Babylon), is Josie Cotton, who's most popularly known for "Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne" and "Johnny, Are You Queer?".
"Martinis and Bikinis" sound-tracked my life in mid-90s L.A. (She said in an interview on KCRW that her song "Baby I Can't Please You" was about George Bush I.) Great musician with incredible stage presence -- that's why Altman cast her in "Pret a Porter."
