Perhaps the best reference point with which to describe Dorothy Scott would
be Mary Margaret O'Hara (which is, admittedly, not a particularly helpful
one considering that few people know who MMOH is :}).  If O'Hara weren't
still alive and well and producing no new music in Canada, one could safely
say that Dorothy Scott were O'Hara renicarnated.  She is quirky, yes (if not
downright weird), but her music is rich and full and beautiful, and contains
several Katelike elements in that regard.
 
Basically, if you've been waiting for Mary Margaret O'Hara to finally put out
a follow-up to _Miss America_, Dorothy Scott is the one to turn to in the
meantime.
 
She has one self-produced EP, called _Into The Natural_, which contains
six stunning songs.  I don't have ordering information here, though I could
get it if people are interested -- e-mail me.  And she is really, really
good live, so if you live in the New York metro area, keep an eye out for
her name in the listings and check her out.  (She tends to play Fez and
the Mercury Lounge a lot.)
 
So Mark, did you like her?  It was hard to tell from your post. :)
