Its the achy twang in Jaimi Shueys inviting voice that immediately captures your attention. You feel her yearning for love in How Long, sympathize with her hurt in the Wrong Girl, and share her sense of adventure in Wild Things. That strong opening trio invites comparisons to a young Lucinda Williams. But just when you think Shuey is headed off down gravel roads, she shifts gears with the stylish, jazz-flavored Ouija, a tune reminiscent of another southern California chanteuse, Eleni Mandell. The latter half of her-ten track debut swings confidently between dusty honky-tonk and more sophisticated lounge. On Country Girl and Jerkwater Town, she offers evocative portraits of restless small-town girls, while A Bite is a fun, food-equals-sex ditty about a hungry girl. A memorable debut, Wrong Girl proves Shuey has the right stuff.
