On the writer's iPod - The Pretty Reckless

The Pretty Reckless is throwback sound with many labels, for me only one is needed - exceptional. Fronted by Taylor Momsen (once known as Cindy Lou Who from The Grinch 2000) whose voice is narcotic. It is as soothing as it is monstrous and provides a wide range of feelings. This coupled with a seasoned sound from the band, (Ben Phillips, Mark Damon and Jamie Perkins)  The Pretty Reckless provides the writer's muse with a backdrop for horror, dark fantasy and even … romance.

As it happens with most of my muse's finding, The Pretty Reckless was an accidental stubble while doing a bit of research for a script. It was Taylor's "grunge" (if you will) look in the midst of images I

was scouring though to provide a sampling for my agent. What was more pleasing was she sported a guitar … I clicked on the image and did some side research and came upon The Pretty Reckless.

The album "Light Me Up" spun and I discovered this amazing playlist comprised of:

1. My Medicine
2. Since You're Gone
3. Make Me Wanna Die
4. Light Me Up
5. Just Tonight
6. Miss Nothing
7. Goin' Down
8. Nothing Left to Lose
9. Factory Girl
10. You 

Instantly fell in love with Momsen's voice … the smooth hypnotic and yes narcotic voice. Frankly, this is one of those albums that is a 10 track ass-kicker, like everyone I have my absolute favorites that follow me everywhere, these include track 1, 3, 4, 6 and 8. A muse's heaven is The Pretty Reckless.

From there, I went to where any normal person would and that was to videos …   I offer Make Me Wanna Die but encourage you to check out Miss Nothing (never mind scroll down past Make Me Wanna Die), My Medicine and the viral version of Make Me Wanna Die. Hell watch everything PR!
