What's The Story?
Nicole Atkins is a singer who has the heavy title of frequently being compared to Roy Orbison, says Wikipedia. Cry Cry Cry is from her newest offering, 2011's Mondo Amore.
Who's To Blame?
He's a Finn, but he ain't Scandanavian.
Why ♥ It?
Nicole Atkins is perhaps a little less known than Grace Potter, so that could give a good idea what to expect.
The vocals in this tune are impressive, as are the lyrics. Lots of held notes & vibrato--it's hard to cite a virtuoso performance in a track like this, but her talent definitely enhances the sound.
However, if you somehow never noticed that Nicole was there, this song still has a ton to offer. Specifically, although the song follows a pretty rudimentary progression, listening to the guitar is extremely rewarding. Like a Hendrix tune, the guitar plays around within the progression in a fashion that's both catchy and interesting; playing the notes you want to hear while never doing the same thing twice.
Cry Cry Cry is one of those songs you can play for anyone who'll listen, and probably get a thumbs up regardless of the audience.
