more reasons to love Maia Sharp

The spirited, album-opener, “Red Dress,” is a poppy gust of roots rock co-written with Richey. Sharp relays that it was inspired by a wild character in the book Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, who emerges from adolescence untamed by the convent-like school to which her parents had consigned her.

one of my FAVORITE Maia songs (well, okay, I only own the twelve on the Fine Upstanding Citizen album but shut up), and it was inspired by Vivi of the Ya-Ya's! Squee! Go Maia! And you, reading this! Go buy her album!
