Joanna Newsom


I never thought I would enjoy harp music, but there's an artist named Joanna Newsom who is incredibly gifted as a musician and a lyricist.

You can find a video of one of her songs here.

A brief warning: I can't stand her voice, and someone told me it was an acquired taste, kind of like Bob Dylan's voice - so try to hear the music and the amazing arrangements rather than the annoying "please just stick an icepick in my ear" voice that goes with the music.

That is the most bizarre singing I think I have heard. She is the Dylan female singer. Her regular voice doesn't match her singing voice at all. I kinda sounds like a drunk slurring the words.
Anyway, the music aspect is great! She does have talent it's just too bad the voice can't be muted!

Yeah her singing definitely needs some work but the harp music is beautiful. My boss ,Cheri, plays the harp with 3 other women. I'll have to show this to her
