A Sneak Peek at Katie Noonan’s “Blackbird” Album

by lkatulka on October 18th, 2008

I can’t wait to hear Blackbird, Katie Noonan’s new album featuring the songs of John Lennon and McCartney. All the right ingredients are there: superb songs, amazing musicians (including the likes of John Scofield and Joe Lovano), and Katie’s sublime voice.

We’ll have to sit tight until November 1 to get our hands on a copy, but in the meantime you can hear Katie’s versions of “Yesterday,” “Across The Universe,” and “Blackbird” on her MySpace page. Her stunning reinterpretation of “Blackbird” is also featured in this behind-the-scenes video. I love the jazzy makeover Katie’s given these songs, and I’m really looking forward to hearing more!

    Heard it and no … I don’t want to hear it again.

    I cannot understand the basis of this “singer’s” reputation? She was tolerable in the pretentious “lounge/pop” band, George, but her solo stuff lacks discipline, is profoundly pretentious and self-important and her voice remains unfocused and “fluffy”. She sings everything from the throat. A good singing teacher could correct this fault, of course.
