	Jill Sobule - PopMatters Concert Review
		Jill Sobule has seen her career take off with a huge radio single, "I Kissed a Girl" (off 1995's self-titled album), only to have the sales of her follow-up album, the underrated Happy Town, flag to the point where her label dropped her.

		jill sobule plays smart, punchy guitar pop, writes matter-of-fact songs often tinged with humor but always revealing a keen observant eye, and sings with a sweet, but sardonic, voice.
		Sobule is one of those people who have an incredible facility with the guitar, who seem to just effortlessly go at it and make it sound amazing so much so that you look in disbelief and cannot understand how that sound can come out of her doing that to that instrument.
		Jill brought her mom onstage to sing "Big Shoes" with her (about when she had to wear orthopedic shoes as a kid) and had the Jillettes onstage singing backup with her for a couple of songs.

		Denver-born Jill Sobule is a singer-songwriter who's particularly adept at capturing small moments; she has an acerbic sense of humor, a knack for melody, and a laudable disregard for genre, though she's primarily a rocker.
		Sobule had a fluke hit with the coy "I Kissed A Girl," but that gimmick tune isn't really representative of her work - while she can be too clever and flip, she can also be direct, honest and thoughtful...
		Things are not going so good for Sobule: she was dropped by her label, and the opening "Freshman" complains about her finances and living situation, envying those who traded their childhood dreams for filthy lucre.

		She said the two songwriters had at least one thing in common — each is, perhaps unfairly, known for one big hit (Zevon's being 1978's "Werewolves of London").

		Singer/songwriter Jill Sobule's quirky tales of love, loss, and human frivolity would seem precious and cloying in the hands of a lesser interpreter.
		Sobule is a true pop aficionado, and her melodies have never suffered from the run-of-the-mill, singer/songwriter trappings of the genre, so when she builds an entire song off of the piano riff from Chicago's "Saturday in the Park" -- the ludicrously catchy first single, "Cinnamon Park" -- it never feels calculated.
		Sobule's voice lacks the sometimes icy pretension of oft-compared, hip contemporaries like Aimee Mann.

		Sometime later, I say, "Hey, there she is!" Jill walks in the front of the bar and Jane says, "Oh my God." (Well, what else did you expect her to say?).
		She is dressed more casual (cutoff shorts and T-shirt) as opposed to the Catholic school girl dress from the other shows, and far better ensemble (that word is for Bill Misita) than on the Tonight show.
		Obviously this chick is there because she heard it on Z-100, or some other crappy radio station, as opposed to someone who is there to see the show as a whole.

		Before the first set had concluded in her debut show, folks were clamoring for a return by this witty and winsome artist.
		Sobule possesses the uncommon ability to combine lilting, infectious melodies with personal and socially relevant lyrics, and then couch them in artfully crafted arrangements.
		People Magazine has said that Jill is "Vocally gifted and lyrically witty...a peerless satirist." It's not surprising that Sobule's music is admired by musicians as diverse as Don Henley (for whom she opened), Lloyd Cole (whose band The Negatives she was a member of), Warren Zevon, and The Go Go's Jane Weidlin.

		With Pink Pearl (named after the common pencil eraser), Jill Sobule has proven that she's no one-hit novelty fluke.
