Mama's Listening - Diane Birch

A few weeks ago I got the awesome opportunity to go to a concert and hear a fantastic new up and coming artist. So new in fact that she was still a few weeks shy of releasing her debut album, Bible Belt!

Well the time has come and Diane Birch has hit the music charts in true star fashion. Currently Bible Belt is #30 on the iTunes Top 100 albums chart!

I love her sound - deep, soulful and full of emotion. Singing cotton candy tunes is not in her bag.

As soon as the album hit the stores, I had my copy in hand. It's made it's way onto my iPod and has been on continuous replay ever since. Probably my favorite song is #3 Fools, which I have to admit is one of those catchy songs that you find yourself singing in the shower.

Bible Belt is an all around feel good album to have around. Listen to it while your relaxing, listen to it while you're cleaning, listen to it in the carpool lane while you wait on the kiddos. JUST LISTEN TO IT!

Get to know Diane a bit closer by visiting her Myspace and Facebook pages and follow her sweet tweets on Twitter.

WIN A COPY! We have a copy of Bible Belt to give away to one lucky Simple Reader. To be entered, just leave us a comment telling us why you're excited to hear this new artist!

Winner will be chosen at random and notified June 30, 2009.

    Oooh we love music in our house (I was a music major in college), and even my one year old boy can't enough music. Our cd player needs to always be on. :)

    I caught Diane when she was the opening act for James Morrison at the Cleveland House of Blues a couple months ago - I instantly dug her retro country/folk/pop sound and found her songs instantly catchy. Would love the chance to win the CD - thanks!
