It’s Just that I Miss You

I saw the above album by Angie Pepper, It’s Just that I Miss You (2001) that was advertised in the Bomp! mailorder service as recommended for Blondie and Patti Smith fans, so I immediately ordered it.  The CD actually covers music from the Passengers and the Angie Pepper Band.  Allmusic calls her music psychedelic blues-rock and compares her to Janis Joplin.  But she has a style all her own; Angie Pepper can bring such raw emotion to her singing that I get choked up when I hear her music, even after all these years.  She is one of my very, very favorite rock artists:  I know that I have easily played this CD 50 times and maybe 100 times; there were years when I was playing it several times a week.
