Product Description
Sharon Little had been making ends meet as a waitress in a Philadelphia-area restaurant when she scored a record deal with CBS Records in early 2008. Within weeks of completing her new album, Perfect Time For A Breakdown, Sharon was chosen by Robert Plant, Alison Krauss and T Bone Burnett to open their entire Raising Sand U.S. tour, which will put her in front of thousands of fans each night of the 33-show trek.
While this might seem that she s an overnight sensation , she is anything but a flash in the pan. She s a singer of intense emotional honesty and the songs she s written reveal an old soul that just happens to be within a person possessed of undeniable physical and spiritual beauty. The journey that has taken her so far in seemingly so short a time has actually been a life-long quest to find her voice, both in the literal and figurative sense.
The songs on Perfect Time For A Breakdown were written by Sharon and her collaborator, Scot Sax, who co-produced with Mark Howard, noted for his work with Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and Lucinda Williams. The album s 11 tunes were inspired in part by numerous cross-country train adventures Little and Sax have experienced over the past 2 years.
Her first five shows with Plant, Krauss & Burnett in April earned Little thunderous standing ovations, and it s only a matter of time before the rest of the world catches on to what the tour audiences are learning first hand: Sharon Little is a unique voice in a crowded landscape and she s here to stay.
Album Description
The songs on Perfect Time For A Breakdown were written by Sharon and her collaborator, Scot Sax, who co-produced with Mark Howard, noted for his work with Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and Lucinda Williams. The album's 11 tunes were inspired in part by numerous cross-country train adventures Little and Sax have experienced over the past two years; those journeys further strengthened a musical and personal collaboration that began in 2006 with a meeting at Milkboy Coffee Shop in Philadelphia. 2008 finds Sharon Little as the opening performer for the Robert Plant, Alison Krauss & T Bone Burnett tour for the remainder of their Raising Sand North American Tour. The nine additional dates include stops in Sharon's hometown of Philadelphia, Nashville and her first international date in Toronto, Canada.

love this CD November 4, 2008
Saw Sharon in concert with Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, usually opening acts are more than a little disappointing, but she was the perfect person to open for them with the perfect music to match their music . My friend and I fell for her on the spot, so much so that I bought this CD for him 3 days after the concert. We have both listened to this CD for hours. If you enjoy R&B, bluegrass w/a twist you will love this CD. I can hardly wait to see her in person again and am waiting for another CD to be published.
Melodic, if that's a word!! November 2, 2008
Sharon Little has a fantastic voice. Very melodic, sensual with some bluesy tones. Very easy to listen to, sing along with (when no one's around). I have her music on my iPod, in the shower and car. I discovered her music on the TV show "The Cleaner". I'm waiting on her next cd!
big honkin' voice! October 30, 2008

Anyone doubting how good the younger musicians are should hear this CD. What a talent.
Awesome new artist! October 24, 2008
I highly recommend this CD, Sharon Little is an awesome new artist. She sounds a little bluesy, like the old Ricky Lee Jones of years ago. Sharon has bright career ahead of her. Buy the CD, buy two, one for a friend!
