I recently saw her at a house concert in San Francisco and was very impressed. Despite being a bit late, I managed a front-row seat -- why are people _afraid_ of the front row? -- and caught a set and a half of smart, entertaining acoustic folk. Sam alternated between electric and acoustic guitars, mixing in an a capella number while she changed the a guitar string. Hearing about rooftops in New York from a woman playing barefoot had my mind drifting to thoughts of Sophie B. Hawkins. Guitar riffs reminded me of Andrew Kerr. Allusions aside, I enjoyed Sam's voice, lyrics, and, of course, stories. Song-wise, "Eldorado" was a highlight.

In the May issue of the British music rag MOJO there's a big picture of P.J. sporting her new look, with a short interview. I don't have the MOJO with me but I remember she said something to the effect this was a"fun" album, which people don't usually associate with her. - -J > 'Uh Huh Her' is due out 31 May in the UK, and the single 'The Letter' is > due 17 May.
