DH and I really love Paper Bird. Esme is one of their singers. I think this project she did is pretty cool. It's her own response to a lot of famous songs about women. Jolene, Eleanor Rigby, Goodnight Irene, etc. For the CD release, she's going to have other people cover the original songs and then she'll play her response to each of them.

This sounds like a really cool project. I've always loved the idea of looking at famous characters from a different perspective (must be the English major in me). I listened to the link to the song Tumbleweed that they have on the page and I really like her sound too.

This is cool. I'm going to check this out in the morning. @imback, you might be interested in this.

You should definitely try Paper Bird as well. They have a great sound and are a fun group to see live.

eta: As I Am is a great song, but the whole Rooms album is excellent.
