Go Whistle: Helen Bach Reviews Patti Scialfa’s “Black Ladder

I’m convinced I get sent songs to hate on purpose.

Pattie Scialfa needs to be behind the boss making soup or something.

I do believe shes trying to sound like Nora Jones, but I’m not sure. She also would do well to clear that phlegm out of her throat.or quit the Marlboro reds.

I think shes trying to be sexy but shes old and the acoustic ‘interlude’ isn’t even credit worthy. Shes playing guitar? Meh, doesn’t matter.

I have a problem with her anyway, For me to have liked this song would have taken a whole lot of hoop dee doo.. and this is nothing more than an old woman trying to sound sexy and to my ears coming off like a pathetic has been who never was.

*post script- iTunes loves me cuz as this song ended.. Peter Bjorn and Johns, “Young Folks” started up.. sorta giving me a hug after the ordeal of hearing Black Ladders twice. now I wanna whistle…
