Susanna Hoffs (The Bangles)
 

Anyone a fan? Or a Bangles fan? I think she's truly a talented acoustic artist. I listened to her rendition of The Water is Wide and I think it's truly fantastic (though I JUST recently found out The Water is Wide is an old folk song? Confirm anyone?).

I have been a fan of the Bangles for years, more so when they were popular. I agree, Susanna Hoffs is very talented and I saw a movie a few months back that had a lot of songs by her in it called Red Roses and Petrol. I believe I read somewhere that their soundtrack is coming out soon so I would check that out if you are a fan. As for the rendition of The Water is Wide, I would like to know if that is an old folk song as well.

She has a very sweet voice, but I think a lot of the Bangles stuff is over produced. I heard her 2nd solo album recently and thought it was pretty good. I also liked he covers album with Matthew Sweet. I think he is producing her next record, and that they are also working on a 70's cover record. She still looks great too. I believe she just turned 50.

I love this song...I looked it up on Wikipedia (who knows how reliable that is...) but it looks like The Water is Wide is an old folk song, also called O Waly, Waly and it's been recorded as The Water is Wide a number of times. Bob Dylan even has a recording.

That makes sense. Yeah I saw the movie not long ago. It has Malcolm McDowell in it, and the soundtrack is pretty good. I mean c'mon. Irish movie + Flogging Molly = ACTUAL Irish movie.

i am a huge fan of the movie...especially that first flogging molly song. i'm hoping to get the soundtrack, do you know anything about it?

I've heard that it should be coming out some time in April? Can anyone confirm that?? I'm looking to buy it too.

I sure do hope it's April! That film had a lot of Flogging Molly so I want the soundtrack for that also.
