GEMMA RAY It's A Shame About Gemma Ray (2010 UK 16-track CD
album - On 'It's A Shame About Gemma Ray', everyone from Lee
Hazlewood to Sonic Youth via The Gun Club and Etta James gets the
unique Gemma Ray treatment. Other covers include songs made
famous by Shirley Bassey, Ella Fitzgerald, Mudhoney, Buddy Holly and
George Gershwin. Recorded by Matt Verta-Ray [Speedball Baby,
Madder Rose, Heavy Trash] at his famous analogue Hed Studio, this
features just Gemma on guitar and organ with touches of Matt on
guitar and drums. One of the highlights of this grainy, truthful,
wonderfully varied album is mashup of the lyrics to Sonic Youth's
'Drunken Butterfly' set to the theme from the classic movie
'Rosemary's Baby')
