Songfacts on Alannah: Rooted no more.

It's all fun and games getting screwed by a record company until someone loses and eye.

Alannah Myles is that chick rocker who wrote the song Black Velvet about B.B King, Elvis and others. Since 1989 she's been eating scraps and living in her shoe, but not this year. She's just received her first ever royalty cheque! It seems that all this time a record company (Powers won't let me say who) have deducted $7m from her take for 'expenses'. Like what? 3 albums and a little low key touring?
One thing is for sure, living on dregs does wonders for your figure.
