Mayhem - Imelda May

minor gripe about the song. 6.) Eternity This is a pleasant track written by husband Darrel Higham. It has a nice rockabilly dance feel and flows well, I Imelda May s voice is strong on this one and the musicianship is again strong. It just doesn t have the same impact on you as the best on here.

It doesn t have the ...

Her voice is just incredibly powerful and raw and is complemented by this album which shows off her vocal talents in everything from rockabilly and jazz to blues (she started her career in the Blues Clubs of Dublin). I think my favourite here is Johnny ...
