Melaena Cadiz ' Rattle the Windows is an absolute gem of alt-country/folk that I've been sitting on for entirely too long.

Couple of days ago I wrote about the nice album by Hurray For The Riff Raff which presented a nice country-folk music. This post is not going to be very different, because Melaena Cadiz's debut, DIY album "Rattle The Windows" is a another fabulous album of a young American singer/songwriter, a student in the Loretta Lynn/Bonnie [...]
