A gifted swing and jump blues vocalist,
Michelle Willson -- a native of the Boston area -- began singing as a teenager, often fronting bands quixotically named after nonexistent members (for example, Mimi Jones and Alex Clayton). As a solo performer, she organized a well-received tribute to her singing idols
Dinah Washington and
Ruth Brown, then joined the band Evil Gal; again working solo in 1994,
Willson issued her debut LP,
Evil Gal Blues, followed in 1996 by
So Emotional.
Wake Up Call marked her first release in the new millennium. ~ Jason Ankeny
