SXSW 2008 CMT NEWS (MTV Country) LIVE REVIEW
My Six Bands Worth Checking Out From South by Southwest: My favorite band I've seen so far is called Phantom Limb, fronted by a magnificent singer named Yolanda Quarty. They filled a Thursday afternoon (March 13) slot at Maria's Taco X-Press in South Austin -- perhaps the most famous taco joint in town. I had heard one of their songs online a few weeks ago, but I didn't anticipate that their music would move me so much, especially "Don't Say a Word." Backed by a very capable group of British guys (they're from Bristol in the UK), Quarty's controlled yet commanding voice somehow balanced out the mellow music behind her. I don't know that one would work without the other, but together, I was overcome with emotion. When I went up to the stage to meet her afterwards, she told me, "I was performing just for you. You have a very expressive face." What do you say to that

Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
