A few years ago...

I was introduced to Charlotte Martin from first hearing her "Everytime it Rains." A couple friends and I drove to Hartford and waited painfully thru several acts before Charlotte was to take the stage at this tiny, dive bar downtown. After a couple of beers and hours had passed, we finally asked someone if they knew when Charlotte would be coming out...... she wouldn't be! She apparently got sick and couldn't sing that night. We left down and out... but I don't hold it against her, her voice is her job and when it's broken, well, you can't work. This version of The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" she did on her "Reproductions" album (a CD of cover songs) is one of my ultimate favorite songs. It is a beautiful version and she really brings out the beauty of the lyrics.
