Nellie McKay

Nellie McKay is an act like no other these days. She's a ball of Cole Porter and Doris Day and Bette Midler and Eminem. Some critics get excited and throw Liberace in there. And Elivis Costello. And Peggy Lee.

She's witty, she's angry, she's funny — she's one of a kind. And she's with us today, with her new album, "Obligatory Village."
