…and it’s not just her looks, which are incredible, to say the least. She’s a great musician that plays a mean organ as well as slinging a guitar. And her voice? Rock goddess like Ann Wilson of Heart. Though I dig her looks (who wouldn’t?), what I find even more sexy is that she’s a great musician, not just eye candy. My friend Ignacio Gonzales who had the long-running but now defunct IgBlog was in love with Tal Wilkenfeld (bassist for Jeff Beck), but I’m in love with Grace Potter.
I admit that I had never heard of her before today. But I went to the Gibson site and their homepage banner sported an ad for the new Grace Potter Signature Flying V. Curious, I surfed for videos, and was immediately impressed with her music. It’s hard-driving, classic-style, blues-infused rock and roll. And the music doesn’t take a back seat to her persona or beauty. Her beauty is her music. Makes me want to dance.
Here’s a video:
I disagree, Dawg, with your assertion that her voice is comparable to Ann Wilson’s. Granted, Grace is a very good singer, but Ann packs a lot more power into her lungs than Grace, and she did even when she was the same size as Grace. But Ms. Potter is an original, creative, and very talented performer and artist.
No doubt that Ann has tons of power. My thinking was more along the lines of the passion that she puts into her performance, and from that perspective, I find them to be very similar.
Understood in that way, I agree. But their vocal styles are very different. Both very good. Heart will always be one of my favorite bands for the way Ann sang and Nancy wailed on guitar. Grace can sing and wail, too, so let’s see if she sticks around long enough to make the impact she seems capable of.
No doubt a great artist! But I found it very “pop” (this is not bad, just not my taste). If you like beautiful young woman, good vocals, guitars and rock and roll can try to listen to Joanne Shaw Taylor.
Joanne Shaw Taylor is more of a blues gal. She does play a mean guitar though, that’s fo sho!
Does Joanne Play a Hammond B3 through a Leslie & sing while the fans are warmin’ up to see her pick up the Gibson Flying V? Didn’t think so. Next……
Hehehe…
