Actually, it sort of sounds like Windom Hill >(only better!) with (great!) lyrics. From the May 24 edition of BAM: "...the LA Times and NY Times were fighting over which city's next big thing (they got Suzanne Vega, we got LJ's Maria McKee) is the *true* country-folk- and-Patti-Smith-worshippin' savior of down-home music." Funny how one stream of thought can lead us from Kate Bush to Maria McKee (well maybe not, in a crass cosmetic sense :-)). Any other LJ fans out there (that is besides Ed Wang and Dave Comay...)? I'm still trying to make up my mind - "Ways To Be Wicked"'s just a bit too Tom Petty-sounding in my opinion.
