Shivaree - I Outta Give You A Shot In The Head For Making Me Live In This Dump (1999)

I'm going back to give you my impressions on a few older albums. Shivaree is one of my favorite bands right now. They are a vocal jazz, folk / indie pop/rock band. The lead singer, Ambrosia Parsley, has one of the most amazing voices ever. Its a little Beck mixed, a little Nina Nastasia, a little Patsy Kline, a little Tom Waits,

I Oughtta Give You A Shot in the Head... is Shivaree's debut album. The only song that got radio play was "Goodnight Moon", which is an amazing song, but the album is filled with gems like that though, from "Bossa Nova" to "Idiot Waltz". You can't go wrong with this album. Look out for their second album, Rough Dreams, which I like just as much, if not more.

Conclusion:

4 / 5 - Absolutely amazing.
