Get Away From Me - Nellie McKay
Get Away From Me Image
  • Summary: London-born, 19-year-old jazz vocalist Nellie McKay makes her debut with this 2-disc set produced by Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick. Unlike contemporaries such as Norah Jones, McKay brings a darker edge and a sense of humor (and even a hint of hip hop) to her songs, all of which she wrote herself.

  1. Dizzying in its scope and ambition.
  2. Sophisticated stuff even for a music vet; truly stunning considering McKay is only 19.
  3. It's sometimes hard to tell who's running the show, the major label or the major talent.
