“And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going”, recorded at The Collective, 2000. Otherwise known as ‘My, what a big mouth you have!’
“Makin’ love with you”, (Atlantic Freeway) released 1995, and did extremely well
for us throughout Europe, including being a great big number 1 hit somewhere nice
and sunny :-
“Wuthering Heights”. Me having, ahem, rather too much fun sending up the icon that is Kate Bush (sorry ma’am)! Actually, I recorded it to wind up my Mother, who always hated this song. Naturally, she loves this recording. Contrariness runs in the family.
“Grind of your heel” was the first of the Atlantic Freeway releases to do well, especially
in the rock-
“Regresa a mi (Unbreak my heart)” for Keen on Jazz, recorded in 2006-
“Teach me tonight” for Keen on Jazz.
“Tonight”, recorded at The Collective, 2000 for the Madison Alley Katz album ‘Choice
Cuts’. This was us in serious mode.... Right up to the point where we swapped roles
-
“The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy From Company B.” recorded 2006 for Keen on Jazz, with Givvi Flynn and Katie Massey.
“Changing” from the ‘Choice Cuts album. I recorded these many years before ‘Dreamgirls’ became a movie. A fantastic score for us girlies with big gobs!
“No alibi” was one of the last Atlantic Freeway demos to be recorded, just before we split in the mid 90s. Still one of my favourite tracks!
Here’s a selection of some recordings of Yours Truly, in various guises from rock
chick with Atlantic Freeway to camp-
