Send Me A Dollar

Sandy Dillon - Broken Promises

I have completely fallen in love with this girl. I didn't know anything about her… I pick up one record, then another, then a third… I think I’ll grab the others as well. From what little I can gather, she’s surrounded by typical total bad luck both in her private life and professionally. Publications and last-minute signatures missed, collaborations ignored… fabulous albums barely acknowledged. Her first partner died suddenly, and the second passed away two years ago… She followed him just hours later.

Essentially a female Tom Waits, with a dash of Janis Joplin and Patti Smith. Disjointed blues, clumsy RnB. Her voice is a grumpy, whimsical, naïve, childish lament…

I’m including her - even if it doesn’t quite fit the sound - for a mini showcase within the showcase, and if anyone knows more and wants to speak of her better…

Thank you, Sandy, "better late than never" fits perfectly this time for IlConte…
