Imelda May – Love Tattoo (CD)
Product Details
Before Love Tattoo introduced her to a wider audience, Imelda May had already built a devoted following on the Dublin live circuit, where her raw energy and deep roots in classic American sounds set her apart from anything else happening in Irish music at the time. The album captures that live electricity, with May's voice equally at home channeling Wanda Jackson ferocity and late-night blues intimacy.
The Dublin-born singer- songwriter got her first big break when she performed on "Later with Jools Holland," after which she signed with Universal Music and was dubbed a rising star of 2009 by Hello Magazine. Her cool but quirky 1950's signature style fits perfectly with her unique Jazz/Rockabilly/Blues fusion with a contemporary twist. Imelda has shared a stage with Van Morrison, Scissor Sisters, Kirsty MacColl, Alison Moyet, Eartha Kitt, Dionne Warwick and Lionel Richie. She will be quite busy in the coming months, performing with her band at the European festivals including Glastonbury and Lovebox and touring in support of Jeff Beck this summer.
