Sara Dougher-Day One

Another one of my female solo artists. She is from Portland Oregon and was involved in the group Cadallaca with Corin Tucker of Sleater Kinney. This is on the local Olympia Washington label K records. From 1999 I wasn’t happy after listening to the first three songs but it got better after that. She plays acoustic guitar and piano, Jon Reuter(aka Jon Nikki) plays electric guitar. He has played on one of Bratmobile’s records, another Olympia based band. Sometimes her singing reminds me of Liz Phair other times like Jenny Toomey or the singer in Rainer Maria. I liked “Moving” the fourth track. It may be playlist worthy. Since I just downloaded a program that converts CD files to MP3 I can do that now. I also thought “Art Lover” and “Drunk #1” were good. There is a cover of The Eagle’s “Take It To The Limit” in which she speeds it up a bit.
