Sounds interesting, cincy.  Bulgarian music is certainly unique and a national treasure.

There is something ominously similar between Amy Winehouse and Janis Joplin, as she struggles with the harsh lights of celebrity.  But on another note it seems that Sharon Jones is a little miffed by all this attention Amy's been getting, feeling that Winehouse "jacked her sound,"

Here's a soundbite,

I'm no marketing guru, but maybe a Sharon Jones & Amy Winehouse tour backed by the Dap Kings could help with getting Ms. Jones some exposure and Ms. Winehouse some favorable headlines. "Amy avoids re-hab! Battle of the Jacked-Sound World Tour commences!"

Maybe now that Sharon Jones has drawn more attention to herself, her sales will get a boost.  I first heard Jones on KEXP iin Seattle, but I didn't make the connect until I read that article.  I can understand her gripes, but there is nothing new about funk, and with it being oh so cool again, Winehouse is not the only one "jacking" the sound.  Jones may have beaten Winehouse to the punch, but that's about it.

Fleck and the Flecktones have been jazz oriented for quite some time. He is still bluegrassy in other venues.

Speaking more of the Flecktones, or atleast a part of them, Victor Wooten will be in Lithuania this month,

Looking forward to it.  There seem to be a lot of Wootens.

The Spice Girls' Secret

I would think the Pussycat Dolls would go the same route, since they like to dress in lingerie as well.
