KT Tunstall
Sun, Sep 17, 2:30 PM AT&T Stage Stage
If one listens to the happy pop of Suddenly I See, followed by the muscular soul of Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, then the singer-songwriter balladry of Other Side of the World, the breadth of KT Tunstalls talent quickly becomes obvious. Another U.K. import whose album got a belated re-release here, she didnt have any problem reaching the upper quarter of Billboards Top 200 Albums Chart with Eye of the Telescope. But Tunstall righteously rebels against being lumped into the just another earnest singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar (and great cheekbones) category. Ive always been drawn to singers who tell it like it is, pure, straight down the line, she tells the London Daily Telegraph. To wit, Tunstall prefers comparisons to Carole King, Patti Smith and Ricki Lee Jones. To say she could hang in that company is a compliment shes earned.
