Joss Stone
British vocalist Joss Stone was only 16 years old when she appeared on the universal pop/rock radar in 2003 with a grownup sound that belied her young age. Six years later, Stone has garnered a devoted audience at home and abroad, first for her reinterpretations of classic soul gems and, one year later, for her song writing chops and sultry delivery. Stone has fashioned a remarkable debut that -with its irresistible fatback drums, swirling organ, and funked-up guitar- takes the listener back to the golden years of early 1970s R&B.
