In one particular scene near the end there was a wonderful cover of the oft-covered Randy Newman song Feels Like Home and after this 54-year old big lug was all teary-eyed for about the 12th time, I decided to look into the artist. Not at all surprising to me, I had never heard of her. Irish-born 37 year-old Brit, Edwina Hayes. After listening to some bits from it on iTunes, I hope to grab her 2008 acoustic CD "Pour Me A Drink" (her 2nd release) soon or maybe download it, but in the mean time I am wondering if any of you out there have heard of her etc. etc. etc and have any input about her. Checking her myspace page it appears she likes our Patty a lot, mentions Patty 3 times (i.e. "One record that I play loads and never get tired of is '1000 Kisses' by Patty Griffin). http://www.myspace.com/edwinahayes http://www.edwinahayes.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwina_Hayes Feels Like Home, cover by Edwina Hayes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkVq7Y_J1MI&feature=related (one of the most moving scene and song combinations I've ever seen in a film...you have to know what's going on to fully feel the power of this) Mike P.S The films stars Alec Baldwin, Cameron Diaz, Jaso Patric, Abigail Breslin (as the "sisters keeper"), an almost unknown (Medium's Sofia Vassilieva) as the sister (GREAT job in this part) and has a very performance by Joan Cusak as a judge. Some might consider this film a bit too much in a variety of ways, but I liked it. ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V13 #31 *********************************
