MARIE MARTENS & the Messarounds/Traveled: Don't go calling this Swedish white gal with the blues another Bonnie Raitt just because she digs blues and plays slide. If you called her another anything, it would be another Hendrix--but that wouldn't be fair either as she's forging her own path. More concerned with raising blood pressures one at a time than hitting the top of the charts, this nuclear powered steam roller assault hits hard and often in the best possible way. Way cool hot stuff and this is just her debut.
