Need some fresh sounds to spice up your music collection? Then have I got the woman for you.

I, being the very stingy guy that I am, often scour places for free stuff. Take iTunes for example, yes you can spend a mint in there for content but if you look hard enough there is plenty of great free stuff too. Such a freebie quest led me to stumbling on a free video of T.K. Tunstall's performance of "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" on recent Good Morning America.
I was blown away. Rarely do I feel the need to run right and buy an album but I couldn't get "Eye to the Telescope" fast enough! She weaves technology around her to form a one woman band. A reality that is totally lost on you as son as you start to listen.

Seems Ms. Tunstall is a Scottish-raised singer/songwriter of Chinese ancestry who brings her mixed and colorful background to her music. Think of her as Sarah McLachlan/Sheryl Crow/Dido/Coldplay/Simon & Garfunkel/retro `80s rock meets a power house of a voice. T.K. has the ability to go full on rock but doesn't wail or get too soft with the guitar. From the fun-country-foot-stompin' "Black Horse & the Cherry Tree" (my personal fav) to introspective-lush-mellow "Other Side of the World", this album is great from beginning to end. Considering how much crap music there is out there and you lucky to get 1 or 2 tracks worth anything, that in itself is getting harder and harder to find!

Um.....phonecall for Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow, Michelle Branch, Tift Merritt, Kathleen Edwards and the like.....there is new voice in town, and its really damn good!
