Is this a R&R woman or what? - jazzboCR - 29-01-2015
The correct answer is "...or what?". Nikki Hill is sure enough a Rock singer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxcDibHxsRU (hint: she loves Bon Scott) but is really all about anything roots or Americana or Blues or ....Rock 'n' Roll. Tight band, the Pirate Crew, with her husband on Guitar. Only 1 CD so far but I predict a good, satisfying, hopefully lucrative, career...and a good future with them together. Her Site: http://nikkihillmusic.com/ I was keyed by a laudatory article in the latest Blues Music Magazine (q.v.). St. Louis based, and Missouri's most recent gift to the world.
Bonus: a 1/2 hour in a very empathic studio appearance *: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwX92PyMSOQ << She needs to drop that spoken place-holder, "...you know...."--it gets annoying qvikli.
Some songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mjFLrM8dMg < 2 short ones in a 2-fer. Sure would like to hear a sax in her regular band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zxRJbS91vE << these next 2 righteously recorded in a studio. Mr and Mrs. Hill...
