Discography
No Place to Go
I love the idea of a true, comfortable love. It'll come sooner than later, I'm sure. Bean Dog helped out by jangling her dog tags, too.

Dreams
I was in a band where the guitarist was secretly (so he thought) in love with me. He'd write really bad love songs about me, then casually ask me to sing them, like they were about another girl. I don't know how Stevie Nicks did it.

Oh My Sweet Carolina
Oh my sweet Ryan Adams. Woeful. Heartbreaking. You're gonna love it.

Fast Enough
After hearing this song, you might be tempted to call me a "commitment phobe." It's probably alright to give into that temptation.

Romeo and Juliet
I think one would have to be heartless to not love this song.

Blue Boy
Sometimes, but thankfully not often, I have to write songs as a form of an apology. This is one of them.

Take On Me
This song has no business being covered acoustically, but I think Ah Ha would approve.

Always Blue
A slightly embarrasing love song written for a talented blues musician. I suppose pride has no place when it comes to swooning.

Your Love
An '80s greaty that's just slightly icky.

Bell Bottom Blues
Seems to me my heart only has one state: broken.

Savannah
Please don't tell the nice folks from Savannah, but this song is about Charleston, South Carolina. It just didn't work quite as well.

Christmas Card from a Hooker In Minneappolis
Tom Waits: no longer just for the drunk and depressed. (My Dad actually gave me a tape of Waits' Blue Valentine. I'm still not sure from where it came, but I'm thankful every day. )

I'll Do
Frequently, I get confused about why my heart is still a little lonely.  Few seem to understand that I'm a pretty amazing creature. This song is my retaliation against all of the stupid boys who don't quite get it.
