Shana is a folk singer from Tampa, who has finally put out an album. Her record features mostly originals, but also has some covers, including Cher’s “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.” While not exactly revolutionary, Shana is a nice record, and showcases her talents quite well, although she is far better live.
