Tift Merritt's debut
album, Bramble Rose, made her a darling of the
alt country scene. Her second album, Tambourine,
did something even better: It brought her a Grammy nomination.
While Tambourine is packed with brand-name backing
musicians (including Maria McKee and Gary Louis of the
Jayhawks), the real focus is on Merritt's high-energy,
soulful songwriting. "Why isn't Tift Merritt famous?"
the notoriously cranky PitchforkMedia.com wondered in
a review last month, describing Tambourine as having
"all the makings of a smash." Merritt plays the WOW Hall
with Trés Chicas, featuring Caitlin Cary, whose clear
voice sweetened the tunes of the now-defunct Whiskeytown.
See Tuesday Calendar.
