Some reasons why KT Tunstall is ace:

1. She writes ace tunes
2. She's not Dido
3. She might not be cutting edge but not everything has to be, does it?
4. Her drummer is Luke Bullen out of the Mescaleroes and he's ace.
5. I loathe to say it but it's great driving music
6. She's got amazing presence in the flesh.
7. Black Horse and the Cherry Tree is the worst song on the album, in fact it's much better on the first pressing of the album, done live on Later on her own with that Akai Headrush pedal where she samples herself and builds up the tune around her. See she is cutting edge!
8. Her producer is Steve Osborne of the Mondays, New Order, Manics, Lamb, Doves, Elbow and Suede fame. That's a pretty good pedigree.
9. When it comes down to it, it's just a really nice album of songs by someone with a fantastic voice.

I always get David Gray and Craid David confused in my head.

She is kind of cool when she does the sampling thing, the opening riff on suddenly good as well. Wouldnt buy the album though.

I loved Fugazi, total straight edge band that drank their own sweat after gigs, yum.
