Clown prince of the ballgame, holding onto something he'd rather not name. Spending seasons in the sun with the witch. Burns my soul collapsible.
Broken Strings is my favorite superhero.
THE ILK OF THEIR OWN REC

in Folk
Latest Price:
$0.19
Just gorgeous, a beautifully crafted slice of pop folk for anyone who finds Sandy Denny, Linda Thompson, or Eliza Carthy and their ilk (if women like that can be thought of as *having* an ilk)irresistible. The whole album is fantastic, and Heidi is definitely deserving of a wider audience... be the first one on your musical block to discover her; you won't be disappointed.

THE FRONT ROW SEATS REC
“No Place Else” on Leper in Suburbia (Remastered) by James Isaak

This is curvy and beautiful, and it sounds like it's being recorded right behind you. Unadorned but faceted in the tradition of great roots music.
THE BOWL ME OVER REC
This is one of the most beautiful albums ever recorded. Ashana is a classically trained vocalist, and plays crystal bowls. Ave Maria is breathtaking.
