courtney marie andrews, “downtown train”
from: come on up to the house: women sing waits, 2019
Here a first place musical project. Quite an honor that Mr. Waits could get this stunning array of female artists to cover his material. Ms. Andrews’s rendering of “Downtown Train” may eclipse the original. The solid building of her vocal trajectory propels it to fantastic heights. A vivid portrait of the slipperiness of love.
