Part folk diva, part beat poet, part jazzy funketeer, Erin McKeown careens onto the national pop scene with her CD debut, Distillation a startling album glowing with a spectrum of musical and emotional hues. The recording, which follows two immensely successful casette-only releases, launches the charismatic McKeown into the ranks of the impressively eclectic and infinitely talented, a true major arrival. Stylistically, McKeown who calls herself a mix of "Django Reinhardt and G. Love," is more precisely akin to emphatically unbound artists like Michelle Shocked, kd lang, and Rickie Lee Jones.
