Any boatman on a tug is on the look out for a Saucy Lady (Ed. in days of yore) but this Tugboat Edition by the Saucy Lady herself begs the question and answer, who? and 'Why'?
This Saucy Lady is Tokyo-raised, Boston-Based DJ, vocalist and songwriter who may or may not remember when the Carly Simon worldwide hit came out in 1989. And you can immediately hear why she would want to add her mark on a cover version of 'Why'; one being, her vocal is very similar to Carly's and another, did we all forget that this was a track producer, arranged and conducted by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards that included a Chic instrumental version.
I'm not sure she needed her classic training to spot that Chic's 'I Want Your Love' fits the instrumental perfectly (for more info on Nile Rodgers and his 'money-maker' riff, it's not a bad lessons to dig out) but this is another great addition to the 12 releases already on Tim Zawada's Star Creature label and more on other disco/boogie focused labels like Razor'N'Tape, Midnight Riot, Big Love along with her own Dippin' Records label.
And not only is Star Creature hot with this release, co-head honcho Tim Zawada's hot all summer long in Chicago as is his latest radio show on OpenLab.
