Piano and vocals by Amanda Palmer

Amanda Palmer's first solo CD, "Who Killed Amanda Palmer," proves that she is one of the greatest musicians of our time.
Who Killed Amanda Palmer" has a delicious combination of both upbeat and radical songs, and slower, calmer songs.
Ms. Palmer's lyrics, although somewhat controversial at times, look at life from different angles; the song
"Runs In The Family" takes a look at mental illnesses and where they originate, while the song "Guitar Hero" looks
at video games and their impact on teen violence. Ms. Palmer's wonderfully un-perfect voice and the emotion that she puts into her music is simply amazing; you can tell that she genuinely cares about the music that she is creating.
