Nicole Atkins Journeys Though 'Neptune City'

For her debut album, singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins took inspiration from the one thing she knows best: home. The effort, titled 'Neptune City,' chronicles Atkins' life growing up in the New Jersey boardwalk town that borders Asbury Park. "Growing up around here and everything being decrepit, thats what feels like home," Atkins explains in this exclusive video, which also finds her visiting her old haunt, the Saint Club in Asbury Park, where she pulled double duty, both booking bands and playing there herself.

In my opinion, FWIW, undoubtedly the finest and best new artist I've heard. Original, inventive, sophisticated, but approachable. A voice that runs the gamut of tone and volume, yet rockets off to the heights of your mind. A master of her music, who does it all, writes, sings, orchestrates and arranges, with the help of her band The Sea. Check out her performance of "The Way It Is" on Letterman, 10-30-07. On Youtube, submitted by 'meowbay' is the best version. Disclaimer - I'm just a fan with no business/financial/associative interests with any production/recording/promotional entity. It's simple; I just love her music and the way she sings it.
