No one can hold a tassel to this 32 year old stripper turned blues belter when it comes to musical moxie. For her genre-bending third album, the Southern Californian recruited some stellar sidemen--- including Texas blues guitarist Derek O'Brien, rockabilly bassist Ray Campi and guitarist Dave Alvin of the Blasters---to create 14 rousing blues-abilly tunes. The soulful "Freak Lover" features stride piano, violin and slap bass, while the kicky remake of Nancy Sinatra's hit "These Boots are Made For Walkin'" is propelled by banjo, washboard and accordion. On Diva La Grande, Kane proves she can liven up any party, even when she's not shedding a stitch. (Antone's/Discovery)
