"Sun's Gonna Rise" by Sass Jordon

Not sure why the stars never aligned for rock singer Sass Jordon. She was born in England and raised in Montreal, Canada, where she earned a loyal following (and later served as a judge on Canadian Idol).

With music very much in the style of Melissa Etheridge, Jordon seemed to have all the ingredients to make a similar splash on the US charts in the 90s. However, this never happened. Jordon managed to score one lone chart appearance in 1994 with the melancholy "Sun's Gonna Rise," which only rose to #86. I enjoy this song a lot, but if you check out more of her catalogue you'll find plenty of upbeat rockers.
