Nellie McKay has three loves - animals Poconos and Doris Day.
It's written his share of songs with an aggressive social criticism on topics such as gay marriage, and feminism. But the wry lyrical singer and pianist to grant rights to animals and pets defense, his favorite cause, it proves songs like "Columbia is Bleeding" and "The Dog Song".
"I have all the list of PETA," says McKay of his apartment in New York, where the address of his dog Bessie and stroke.
Poconos have long been part of the story, McKay, one who him from London to his birthplace in the Poconos, where he lived with his mother and went to high school (at his age is vario
usly reported, his publicist says he is 27). He returned repeatedly Poconos, Delaware River Water Gap design, Pocono take jazz giants such as Bob Dorough (training to him during a summer school) and Phil Woods, who work with them, and recording in 2007 forced the villagers.
"Snow days are the best," McKay said, laughing. "Every time I get back, to have such a sense of fun. Plus, the greatest musician in the world live."
And his love for America's sweetheart?
Initially - the reclusive octogenarian known for his singing sunrise and useful role in the film the light comic fare like pillow talk - it seems strange choice for McKay, acerbic songwriter with the voice cutting. McKay decided (as Polly Peachum), the cowardly Brecht's Threepenny Opera on Broadway in 2006 - the music sounds totally biting humor from his own material. Then listen curious McKay's new Normal as Blueberry Pie: A Tribute To Doris Day and all clear.
McKay, like the Sun, knows how to deal with saccharin or two songs. In his 1975 autobiography, Doris Day: Her Own Story, Day writes about most of the texts Gago and on-screen image that it seems a young woman.
"From the perspective of women, Ms. Day said a lot about his time as a popular icon to agree to match ideas about what women" should "be - search for love and fulfillment as a woman and her husband," said McKay.
Day is too sunny to respect the verdict of hits such as "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, To Be)," the likes of McKay, who eschews her fourth album. McKay prefers Low-Day is known for songs such as fluctuating "Meditation" and thoughtful, haunting "I Remember" - songs that reveal the date as a woman of many faces. Normal number and blueberry pie, how much McKay wear masks, singing as the day flirtatious or depression, lack of structure all of McKay and his mother, Robin Pappas.
"I was in high school when I lifted him album cover," says McKay, only to Magic: Her Early Years Warner Brothers (1998). "It was a big fake ship and I adored him. It is soft and nice and warm and sweet."
And, of course, has its own dedicated day of activism that emerged in the Doris Day Animal League. "It is easy activists feel that raw nerve, but he fought for the [animals] for decades, so has the Zen quality, care and quality," said McKay, who interviewed his hero for bark magazine in 2007. "When I climbed into my lap on the phone, I would."
Dorough, pianist and singer with an extraordinary pedigree of commercial jazz classics (he wrote and recorded many of Schoolhouse Rock! Television series' songs) and encounters with Miles Davis, says that "the day went to do some stupid films, I think that musicians are generally agreed his musicality is high. "
McKay remembered complex dichotomy involved in the day of music and pictures to the 50th ideal woman 'satisfactory'. "There is always more going on that at first sight," he said.
The same can be said of McKay himself. Although it may claim to hate homework - how, when he was a child, doing school, and now as an adult is in a complex agreement for normal as Blueberry Pie - his mother and coproducer clarifies the position of his daughter.
"When inspiration, Nellie is a hard worker and a big dreamer, without the knowledge of time," said his mother, Robin Pappas. "That's great if the project is open-ended, but proves difficult when the term."
Pappas worked with her daughter from the beginning of his career recording McKay. Pappas from the demo album in 2004 is Snark McKay Depart from me, his first major label release (He is also one, to Normal Blueberry pie, energy.)
Coproducing Blueberry pie, Pappas says that the couple "to release the creative moment of injury" and let the sweetness of leakage through the course. "Nellie extreme sensitivity and willingness to take risks keeps his open to the most beautiful of any momentum - but also makes it very vulnerable and need protection," says Pappas.
Dorough said that although McKay brought to sing and play in forcing the villagers ( "listening to derive from hard, it's symphony") and arrange pieces of Blueberry Pie ( "click me" Close Your Eyes "is:" Whether it is a monk, Bob "), his aesthetic is his only way.
"Nellie knows exactly what he's doing," says Dorough. "I told him what he wants. He uses many different - bold and original - building his CD."
For his part, independent and fearless Ms. McKay is happy now, singing sensation, un-feminist texts of which made career. McKay uses no definition of songs like "Wonderful Guy" as part of his ironic, but an honest description.
