I'm No Angel
Marla BB
Ascending Productions

Want the short version? Four great songs, an ass kicking band, perfect production clocking in at just under sixteen minutes.

Marla BB is back, lock up your men folk! Starting with about 30 seconds of kittenish purring accompanied by co-producer Mick Gaffney on acoustic guitar, you have just half a minute to get strapped in before the rocket takes off. Pumping out the primal scream that has become a Marla BB trademark, the all star band of Richard Crooks on drums, blues legend Bill Sims on guitar, Muzz Skillings (yes that Muzz Skillings) bass, and one of the top keyboard players in NYC, Mitch Margold, along with Mick Gaffney who has my vote as the scariest guitar player on this and the next three planets. Of the four songs, Marla wrote two with Mick, one with Bill, and pulled the old classic "You Don't Miss Your Water" out for a great treatment with Richie Cannata sitting in on sax.
