Former Prince & the Revolution members Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman (a k a Wendy & Lisa) have been in demand in the TV world of late, doing score work for NBC's "Heroes" and "Mercy" as well as Showtime's hit series "Nurse Jackie" with Edie "Mrs. Soprano" Falco. The latter gig has been prominent enough to have now spawned a CD made up entirely of their music from the show. "Nurse Jackie: Season One Soundtrack" came out yesterday on Lionsgate Music and can be sampled and downloaded here. Like the show itself, the music is often edgy, dark and playful at the same time.
