I was determined to find something free on Soundcloud tonight. Let me tell you, unless you know exactly what you're looking for, it's a complete wasteland. Most of what I have to dig through is people singing badly to other people's records. Ugh.
But this I like. And it's Country and I was actually hoping for something Country, tonight.
Tamanie Dove was born in Tennessee and lives in or around Atlanta, now. She's only been pursuing the music thing for a couple of years. You'll find a couple of split albums (with Jenny Trindall) on CD Baby as Tamanie Dove, but she's been a lot more prolific since she dropped the "Dove" and just went with "Tamanie" (see iTunes and CD Baby). She's got a nice voice and sounds good when she's fully produced. "My Christmas Is You" is a little more raw, production wise (or maybe that's just Soundcloud), but she's still got a good voice. And I think what I like about this one, in fact, is that she's keeping it simple. The downfall of many an independent record is trying to do too much. Honestly, some times that works but, sometimes, not so much. "My Christmas Is You" is also old school Prairie Country, which alone makes it fun (it's the loping tumbleweed beat that makes it Prairie Country). There's plenty enough Big City Country out there. You should know that Tamanie says she does Rock, Funk and Jazz, too. But, to my ears, that voice sounds like a Country and Americana voice.
Anyway, I wish Tamanie Dove all the best and thank her for the cool Christmas song, "My Christmas Is You". You can grab the song from Soundcloud (as it's her "song of the month", I wouldn't expect it to be up past Christmas) and pay the little lady a visit on Facebook. Come on in and sit a spell.
