Fourth Floor by Sonya Heller
Sonya's debut CD released in 2000.
Here is some insider, vintage Sonya Heller for those who've always wanted to take a deep dive into her first recordings! Honest, raw, improvised, lofi.
One reviewer said "The Big Apple's latest gift to the singer/songwriter world may be one of the most ear-opening in a long time. A bit Joan Baez, a little P.J. Harvey and even a breath of Gillian Welch are felt here, but overall this is about a lady with a wonderful emotive timbre to her voice."
