Neneh Cherry: Unsung Hero/ine
Don Snowden, Rock's Backpages, March 2012
THE ORIGINAL TITLE for this piece was "Ticked Off at a Tick". The reason being that I spent more than a few years operating under the misconception that the Lyme's Disease Neneh Cherry came down with right around the time 'Buffalo Stance' hit worldwide was behind her oh-so-limited recorded output – a mere three full albums in her solo career and then largely dropping off the map after 1996. A journey to Google/Wikiworld set me straight on the Lyme's front – ran its course within a year – but did little to dispel the mystery over why so little music had been heard from someone so talented.
