SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:49 Min.
As her signature song, it’s the third track off Canadian singer-songwriter Alannah Myles’ 1989 self-titled album.
REVIEW:
Brimming with sex appeal, the sultry “Black Velvet” spells out romantic Southern blues mixed with contemporary rock. There’s no question that Alannah Myles’ husky vocals do spot-on justice to this ballad’s flirtatious lyrics. At times, her voice sounds quite reminiscent of Melissa Etheridge. Hence, this seductively bluesy track holds up quite well today in its occasional radio play. For any number of rock playlists, “Black Velvet” is definitely worth the download.
