Details: Product DescriptionMarshall, AmandaAmazon.caAfter two fairly straight-ahead (and platinum-selling) rock records, Amanda Marshall lets down her not inconsiderable hair onEverybody’s Got a Story. Working with producer Peter Asher (Linda Ronstadt), songwriter Billy Mann, and young beat-master Molecules, the Toronto-raised Marshall has come up with a groove-oriented pop record combining acoustic guitar, hip-hop beats, strings, and the true star of the show–the singer’s own multi-octave, Joplin-esque voice. At times the new, more boho clothes fit–the title track is ideal radio fodder, the party tune « Sunday Morning After » is a hoot, and « Red Magic Marker » is hooky pop. At other times the combination sounds forced and synthetic, especially when in service to uninspired melodies like those of « The Gypsy, » « Brand New Beau, » and « The Voice Inside. » The biggest surprise may be « Marry Me, » a soft ballad written by Marshall with her bassist and paramour Rob Misener. More than any other track, « Marry Me » demonstrates the singer has learned to tone down her often overpowering vocals when necessary–makingher story a lot more interesting.–Shawn Conner
