It's hard to ignore the sound of well placed hand claps, the echoing ring of a
tambourine, chiming guitar and luscious vocals. That sound was fantastic sixty
years ago, and those that follow the recipe with the required chops can make
it sound great today. Louise Burns's debut album is full of dreamy numbers
like opener ''Chinook (Sing From the Valley of Doubt'' and the playful Buddy
Holly-esque first single ''What Do You Wanna Do''. Citing Mazzy Star, Patsy
Cline, 60's girl groups and Johnny Marr as inspiration, Burns holds up to her
heroes. She dazzles in the vocal department throughout the disc, but it's on
the dangerously stripped-down ''Island Vacation'' that listeners will fully
surrender to her charms.
