biography
Born in Dublin, Ireland, Imelda May is a unique vocal talent, one whose gift lies outside the normal order of pop culture time and trends. Inspired by the sounds of vocal jazz à la Billie Holiday and the sound and looks of rockabilly, May began performing with the swing outfit Blue Harlem, and released a handful of independent CDs before scoring attention in 2007 with her nomination for an award as Best Burlesque Singer as well as the release of her more official debut, Love Tattoo. The album, featuring her strong backing band comprised of players Dave Priseman, Darrel Higham, Al Gare, and Steve Rushton, was critically and commercially well received, leading to some high-profile live gigs, including hitting the road with Jools Holland. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide

- Love Tattoo is an utterly fabulous album, epitomizing the sound of rockabilly and adding a tequilla chaser to it with scorching vocals and seriously catchy melodies. Utter favourite, I think I may have told everyone i know about Imelda, and erm if I haven't. Get Love Tattoo its an awesome album.
