Laura Thomas- Step to the Wire (CD)

Textured by a fiery violin and a multi-layered guitar, the band is led by Laura's powerhouse vocals. Laura sings with Ani Difranco's tell-it-like-it-is defiance, Alanis Morissette's sheer, clear power, the sultriness of Norah Jones. The result is an audio-shock of emotional truth.
