Shortly after the 1989 release of Alannah Myles’s solo hit “Black Velvet”, the song hit the Number 1 spot on Billboard magazine’s Top 100, and the name and face of this remarkable singer, previously unknown, shot into the limelight. This raven-haired, green-eyed beauty has an amazing self-confidence, described by some as arrogance. She possesses a strong sense of bravado, and a joy derived from the rewards that have come to her after years of relentless pursuit of a precise musical identity. Few performers, especially those as new to the scene as Myles, have her strong sense of direction and drive. Her voice has a wide dynamic and expressive range; she can belt out a raunchy, Madonna-like rock sound, or slip into a smokey torrid blues voice.

Myles has a no-nonsense, aggressive approach to her music. Her self-titled debut album was released in 1
