Storm Queen

Released

All the critics love you in New York if you sound like Marge Simpson and make bad puns but sing like a Viking recalling her time in the streets of Laredo? Obscurity befalls thee. Watch this video to see Cummings have trouble lip syncing her own song, which is fine, because it rules. Like a half dozen rummy Seventies boys—Scott Walker, Lee Hazelwood—but better than half of them.
