Top Ten Lists
- filed under Music
Every year Large Hearted Boy collects best of lists for book and cds from around the Internet. It’s a great resource at a site you ought to be starting your day with in any case. I’m beginning to think about my top ten list for the year — feel free to send ideas my way.
Patchwork
- filed under Music
Seattle pianist and singer Robin Holcomb blends folk, jazz, country, and classical influences into a uniquely American patchwork that sounds simultaneously postmodern and ancient.
Holcomb weaves marches, waltzes, and hymns through her songs; her work is familiar, intimate and rural, and her quavering voice gives life to widows’ tales and makes epics of farmers’ laments.
She is playing tonight in a rare New York appearance at Joe’s Pub.
