Joanna Newsom - The Milk-Eyed Mender

€24,95
Format
Currently good stock Limited stock Currently unavailable

The Milk-Eyed Mender is the debut studio album from American singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom, first released in March 2004 on the Drag City label.

Newsom wrote all the songs on the album except for 'Three Little Babes', which is a traditional Appalachian song by Texas Gladden. According to the  album liner notes, Newsom plays "a Lyon & Healy style 15 harp, a wurlitzer electric piano, a harpsichord and piano."

Joanna's music has more of an affinity with the folk revival of the 60s, or the bluegrass movement at present, than with most contemporary 'folk' (or 'anti-folk') scenes. Her harp arrangements are at times ethereal and delicate, at others galloping and ornate, but never overwrought.

Joanna Newsom - The Milk-Eyed Mender

€24,95
   
"Here, the words to her meandering stories-- disarming in their formal purity, but still highly individualized and eccentric-- elaborate on an aesthetic that evokes French coins, dark maroon leaves, shafts of wheat, and ostrich feathers as much as it references them directly."
