Erin McCarley gives ARTISTdirect.com an exclusive look at what’s on her playlist…

A Taste:

Fiona Apple, Emily Haines, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

Erin McCarley could very well be Fiona Apple’s successor for the Facebook generation.

Like Miss Apple, she crafts warm, brooding and poignant pop music that’s deeply personal and truly poetic. Just listen to “Pitter-Pat” from her debut album Love, Save the Empty for proof. She examines life and love through vibrant lyrics and undeniably catchy melodies.
