Candye Kane: The Toughest Girl Alive

With song titles like "Let's Commit Adultery" and "(Hey Mister!) She Was My Baby Last Night," Candye Kane is not exactly subtle in her bisexuality. A porn star turned jump-blues mama, the healthy Ms. Kane is best known for playing piano with her breasts - a feat not taught in most music schools.

It might be easy to dismiss Candye Kane as a brazen novelty act, but the girl is so passionate about her decadent philosophy and so lusty a singer that it's difficult to resist her charms. On her latest biscuit, Kane teams with some top-flight musicians, including roots star Dave Alvin (guitar), Texas blues luminary Marcia Ball (piano), and veteran blues bassist Larry Taylor. The tunes are a catchy, well-played mix of R&B, swing and rockabilly. They're also very horny — in two senses of the word. Most seem innocent enough until you pay attention to the lyrics, which are naughty enough to make a pimp blush. Best tracks include "Who Walks In When I Walk Out" and "Who Do You Love?"
