Meredith Brooks, the Corvallis-born singer, songwriter and guitarist out of the Oregon music scene, had her moment in 1997 with Blurring the Edges, her solo album on Capitol. Its single "Bitch" was the one that blew the doors off: a swaggering slab of pop rock with a title that dared you to flinch and a hook sticky enough to make you forget you were supposed to.
The song went top 10 in a long list of countries and earned her 2 Grammy nominations, which is a lot of mileage for a song whose title alone made some people blush. Brooks plays her own guitar, and you can hear it: under the glossy production there's a crunch and a strut that set her apart from the tidier singer-songwriters of the day.
