Sweet heart said

Play it: Shelley Short Captain Wild Horse (Rides The Heart Of Tomorrow)
Download: "Tomorrow Night", "Like Anything, It's Small"

One final sweet note for your Valentine's day. Shelley Short's second release, Captain Wild Horse (Rides the Heart of Tomorrow) (Hush Records,) is a like a little Valentine for your ear. Think Be Good Tanyas, with a little Patsy Cline thrown in for good measure. Short began her musical career in Portland but has since moved to Chicago, following a similar trajectory of one Neko Case (Pacific NW to Windy City,) and perhaps is not such a bad comparison to add as well...with a bit less of vocal prowess, and more... well... sweetness thrown in.

Enjoy... oh, and Happy Valentine's Day.
