There are singer-songwriters out there who are so good at making other singer-songwriters look so good that we forget how good they are. Nora O'Connor is one such singer-songwriter. The folks she has toured and recorded with are a who's-who of Americana music: The Decemberists, Neko Case, and The New Pornographers. But make no mistake, O'Connor is a singer-songwriter first and foremost. Her latest album "My Heart" (we get to hear her perform the title track) is a wonderful compilation of songs that delves into her embracing her own talent, as well as the song. She is a pure singer, a shy sort of human being as well. Her ideas about songwriting and performing are a good study for anyone who wants to not only shine the spotlight on others but enjoy the spotlight for themselves every once in a while. Her website is www.noraoconnormusic.com.
