ASMW – Ghost in my head

So this weeks cut is from the debut album from the Canadian actress (best known for her role on Law and Order) Jill Hennessy. Its a nice blusey rock album with sounds of Melissa Etheridge and is actually a nice sounding album. Give the album a listen and catch some reruns of Crossing Jordan or [...]
