Actually I never heard of her. Few weeks ago I found her latest release Love Tattoo in one Spanish blog and she immediately landed on top of my Last.fm and began fueling me from my ipod.
Bit similar to Mad Marge and the Stonecutters but totally different. While both of these chix take most of their influence from good old rockabilly Marge is more about punk and Imelda is totally about jazz. So it can be best described as swing/jazzabilly. Of course we still have the female hot rod rockabilly vocals but big part of the record is still very jazzy.
Love Tattoo is a definitely my personal hit of the summer. It has the raw rock power and calm cocktail jazz bit of unmixable but almost all the songs are hits. While my personal two favorites are Smokers Song and Love Tattoo I still like the clicking upright bass in Johny Got A Boom Boom and gentle melodies of Knock 123 and Meet You At The Moon. The rest of the record is pure rockabilly nothing exceptional just keeping you in the mood between the top tracks.
