2. Crazy Enough: A Memoir
Feature
Used Book in Good ConditionDescription
Like some twisted love child of Mae West and Keith Richards, Storm Large is a force of nature. Her ballsy, heartbreaking, hysterical, tour de force of a memoir is not to be missed. Crazy Enough is vulgar and fragile, tragic and empowering, and like Storm, it is always entertaining (Chelsea Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Heartsick and The Night Season).Yes, Storm Large is her real name, though shes been called many things. As a performer, the majority of descriptions have led with Amazon, powerhouse, a six-foot Vargas pinup come to life. Playboy called her a punk goddess. Youd never know she used to be called Little Sthe mini-me to her beautiful and troubled mother, Suzi.
Little S spent most of her childhood visiting her mother in mental institutions and psych wards. Suzis diagnosis changed with almost every doctors visit, ranging from schizophrenia to bipolar disorder to multiple personality disorder to depression. One day, nine-year-old Little S jokingly asked one of her mothers doctors, Im not going to be crazy like that, right? To which he replied, Well, yes. Its hereditary. You absolutely will end up like your mother. But not until your twenties.
Storms story of growing up with a mental time bomb hanging over her veers from frightening to inspiring, sometimes all in one sentence. But her strength, charisma, and raw musical talent gave her the will to overcome it all. Crazy Enough is a love song to the twisted, flawed parts in all of us.

5. Get Happy
Description
2013 release from the modern Exotica/Easy Listening outfit. In January 2012, Thomas Lauderdale and trusty audio engineer Dave Friedlander flew to Los Angeles to visit Thomas's new friend, Phyllis Diller. While there, they recorded Charlie Chaplin's 'Smile', which turned out to be Phyllis Diller's final recording, and became the soundtrack for the many tributes to her when she passed away six months later. Thus began the 18-month odyssey to record Get Happy, the long-awaited studio follow-up to 2009's Splendor in the Grass, an odyssey which featured a cavalcade of vocal royalty visiting their Portland studios, including exotic cabaret sensation Meow Meow, sunny French eccentric Philippe Katerine, the handsome and brilliant radio superstar Ari Shapiro, warm-hearted wunder-siblings The von Trapps, and a riveting appearance by the exquisite Rufus Wainwright! Anchored by our beloved and elegant vocalist China Forbes, alongside our dazzling co-lead-singer Storm Large, the album features 16 songs selected and arranged by Thomas.6. Where Is My Mind

Feature
Shrink-wrappedDescription
A Gershwin Moment is upon us: Rhapsody in Blue and the Concerto in F not so long ago marginalized repertoire in limbo between classical and popular genres are now, unapologetically, concert staples. George Gershwin is finally recognized as an early harbinger of musical synergies that we now take for granted. No longer viewed as an "inspired dilettante, betwixt and between, the new Gershwin is a confident master, versatile and visionary. In this album recorded live, pianist Kirill Gerstein explores the music of George Gershwin. Together with conductor David Robertson and the St. Louis Symphony he plays the Concerto in F as well as the original jazz band version of the Rhapsody in Blue. Program also includes a selection of Gershwin songs in solo piano arrangements by the American pianist Earl Wild. The album features Gerstein s collaboration with two special guests: vocalist Storm Large sings Gershwin s Summertime . Together with the legendary jazz vibraphonist, Gary Burton, Gerstein plays a jazz standard Blame It on My Youth written by Gershwin s close friend, Oscar Levant.8. I've Got You Under My Skin
