Maggie Mae's
Crybaby (Toronto, Ontario):
We steal all of their hockey teams, so how do our neighbors to the north retaliate?
They send us Shania Twain. If they give us Crybaby, however, we'll give 'em the
Winnipeg Jets and the Quebec Nordiques back. Singer Rae Billing has a slow, sinking
voice and delivery that could put Toni Price and Kelly Willis out of work;
the band makes a reference to its affinity for the Austin scene in just about every
interview. No need to wait another year for Lucinda's next record, when you can pick
up Crybaby's debut, Paintings, today.
