Like a lot of folks, I first heard Sam Phillips perform on Gilmore
Girls; she provides those little interstitial bits of music that
are as much a trademark of the show as the snappy dialogue and the
cultural references. And that might have been that, if not for that
same sampler CD that introduced me to the
Dresden
Dolls. Track number one on the CD was
All
Night, from Ms. Phillips'
A
Boot and a Shoe. That got me wanting to listen to more of
her work, which led me to Fan Dance, her latest album.
And now I have a whole new appreciation for Sam Phillips, her songs
and her voice. They say that sometimes less is more. But compared to
the little bits we get on Gilmore Girls, I have to say that
there are times when more can be more. And better. And more.
