Maria McKee
Tom Baxter
Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh
Tom Baxter played an acoustic show supported by a guy with a violin. It was innocuous singer songwriter stuff. Guy’s got a nice voice though.
Maria McKee, however, has an exceptional voice. An enormous talent who has somehow ended up on the musical margins with minimal sales and a determinedly cult audience despite outstanding critical acclaim. Perhaps it’s just that the album that should have made her a superstar, Life Is Sweet, came out at the wrong time or
