I still think her own albums are a waste of Bill Frisell and, IIRC, Marc Ribot, but news (old, but I just found out) that she appeared on a Mike Patton album certainly helps. (And she's also gigged with Scott Amendola's band, with Nels Cline, at Tonic of all places, so, yeah.) On the other hand Patton's album with Kaada, Romances, was kind of Jonesily soporific, or so I thought when last I heard it, which may also have been when first I heard it, when I was reviewing it for WHPK—I think I claimed that Patton was finally overstretching himself. All cinematic noiry croons, but not a lot of interest.
