Canadian singer/songwriter Mary Margaret O'Hara finally released her debut album 'Miss America' in 1988 after originally signing to Virgin in 1983. She was unconventional in her musical style and also in the studio, where the high standards she placed on herself resulted in years of delays and a few producers that would come and go.... until Michael Brook completed it with her. It turned out to be a fantastic album and was unlike anything else at the time. She has a unique vocal style, with sudden changes in tempo... sort of part jazz, part folk, part indie rock, part alt country but very much in her own style. Morrissey was one of many that was taken with her debut album and she added some vocals to his single "November Spawned a Monster". Now back to this song... "Body's in Trouble" is more of an indie pop song but it is also a good entry into the interesting world of this tortured genius.
