“From the home office in Indianapolis, Indiana, today’s Daily
\nVault Top Ten List: The Top Ten Reasons You Should Go Buy Garrison
\nStarr’s New CD
\nAirstreams & Satellites<\/i>.”<\/p>\n
“10. Garrison Starr rocks, plain and simple. Performing in
\ncoffeehouses and small clubs while still in high school, she
\nrapidly developed a unique style. Part rock, part folk, part
\ncountry, she has some serious guitar-playing and songwriting
\nability , and is one of the most talented artists it’s been my
\nprivilege to stumble upon in a few months.<\/p>\n
“9. If they ever do a live-action movie of Emma Bull’s cult
\nurban fantasy novel
\nWar For The Oaks<\/i>, she’s perfect for the role of Eddi, the
\nmain character. Even looks like her.<\/p>\n
“8.
\nAirstreams<\/i> should be in the dictionary next to “‘versatile.”
\nStarr sings wistful upbeat love songs (“Wonderful”) and biting
\nverbal commentary (“Runner-Up”) with equal ability.<\/p>\n
“7. The production is dynamite. A definite headphone CD, I hear
\nnew things on it every time I take a listen.<\/p>\n
“6. She uses the phrase ‘all my peeps in Nashville’ in the liner
\nnotes. How cool is that?<\/p>\n
“5. Her band is talented as heck. Special kudos go to Bruce
\nWatson for a couple of deftly inserted — and wonderful — mandolin
\nparts, Curt Schneider’s impeccable bass playing, and Matt Lang’s
\ndrumming (which neatly runs the gamut of a number of musical
\nstyles).<\/p>\n
“4. The lyrics. Oh, yeah, those lyrics; Starr’s a poet who
\nhappens to put her poetry to music — for example: “She’s on a roll
\n\/ She’s the perfect picture of complete control \/ But underneath
\nher stage \/ she’s scared to death you might mean what you
\nsay\u2026”<\/p>\n
“3. You would be supporting an artist with something real to say
\nin an era of EmptyVee spectacle and nonsense. I just can’t imagine
\nGarrison Starr appearing in a halftime show with Justin
\nTimberlake.<\/p>\n
“2. Two words: “One-Sided.” This track, a straight-ahead
\ngonads-to-the-architecture rocker, is one of the best songs I’ve
\nheard — nay, THE best song I’ve heard — this year. I stuck it on
\nrepeat play for an hour at a time, and never once got tired of it.
\nIt’s worth the twelve bucks by itself, and then you get all these
\nother cool songs.<\/p>\n
And the Number One Reason You Should Go Buy Garrison Starr’s New
