Rebecca Pidgeon - Tough On Crime - 320kbps

Actress Rebecca Pidgeon has had a largely unsung parallel music career since the 1980s. Her fourth studio album, produced by Joni Mitchell helmer Larry Klein with an all-star lineup that includes veteran keyboard payer Billy Preston and Steely Dan's Walter Becker, has a sophisticated feel that spans subtle electronica and contemporary jazz, typified by the restrained, smooth keyboards of "Magazines" and the Steely Dan-esque feel of "Ordinary Blues" and the title track. Pidgeon's vocals, detached and coolly stylish, match her urbane lyrical observations.
