A balada "Down in the Willow Garden", também conhecida por "Rose Connelly", foi gravada por muito boa gente. Já conhecíamos a versão de Kristin Hersh, que abre a sua coleção de canções de faca e alguidar apalachianas, o álbum "Murder, Misery and then Goodnight", de 1998: Diz-se que a balada inspirou Nick Cave a escrever "Where the Wild Roses Grow", que para lado B daquele single usou uma

Throwing Muses Anthology 4AD Records [2011] (2 CD Set) Fire Note Says : Anthology provides a nice introduction to a band that more people should be familiar with! Album Review: Anthology is the first career spanning offering from the Throwing Muses and it comes at the 25 year mark from their debut self-titled record. Founded by step sisters Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly, the Throwing [...]

It's been a tough few weeks, for body and spirit. Our inner city school is badly overstocked this year, with classes too full to manage, and hallways that ripple with energy we can barely control; the stress among the faculty is sky-high, and we're hard pressed not to take it out on each other. Limping into such an environment every morning puts me at a severe disadvantage, but limp I must: I seem to have torn something in my knee, trying to compensate for a flared disk in my lower back, and have grow accustomed to [...]

Rock n roll books! With the income from recorded music on the wane, it should be no surprise to see artists from a wider range of backgrounds branching out into autobiography. This year has seen a fair number of indie-scene scions try their hand (aided and abetted in some cases by indie labels such as Domino and Rough Trade making their own forays into the publishing world). After all the chances of the likes of Luke [...]
After evidently cancelling Cork last night due to losing her voice, Hersh has also cancelled tonight's scheduled The Workman's Club gig. Hersh's tweet : She went on to say: "Thanks to all for the voice remedies...i'm actually dealing with a serious respiratory infection...canceling these gigs is killing me."
If there's one word that sums up Kristin Hersh , it's generous. As a solo musician, member of Throwing Muses and 50 Ft Wave, collaborator, creator, mother, wife, interviewee, writer, she is generous with her time, her talent and her thoughts. As one of the founders of CASH music , alongside Donita Sparks of L7, she's generous with her work, offering her fans constant streams of new music, much for free. Live, she gives her all. Last year, she released her first memoir, Paradoxical Undressing (called Rat Girl in the United States), where she [...]
Oops, I think I missed last week. Oh well. Our previous selection, the Footloose Soundtrack, remains one of my favorite albums of all time. Yes, it is pure 1980s pop - mostly of the over-the-top, cheesy variety. But it is the best of that genre with non-stop, back-to-back catchy pop hits. Kenny Loggin's title track [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Book Club Graeme Flegenheimer, Getty Images Throughout her career, singer-songwriter Kristin Hersh has embraced the role of storyteller in her music and lyrics, as well as the written and spoken word. She's been forthright about her battle with bipolar disorder and its affect upon her cathartic and fascinating creative process. In 2010, she upped the ante with her memoir ' Rat Girl ,' which was recently released in the [...]

Gripping an acoustic guitar with her recently released memoir ' Rat Girl ' beside her, the singer-songwriter launched into her performance, moving seamlessly between song and prose, telling stories accompanied by guitar and reading from the book, each vignette building on the last. Those who've followed Hersh's career from her Throwing Muses [...]

Kristin Hersh is not someone you'd want to mess with. We're not saying she's some badass bitch - we're just saying that she's just so damn smart, talented, and cool that she could probably out-wit and out-charm just about anyone. She's been through the major-label system, survived the alt-rock boom of the '90s while fronting Throwing Muses, and has emerged as what many consider to be a true artist - someone making art on their own terms to satisfy their need to create and share. We were lucky enough to spend an afternoon with her last year while [...]

We only tend to feature audience sourced recordings that are rare, collectors items, or very good in terms of audio quality. This is Kristin Hersh live at The Bowery Ballroom, New York, NY on the 25th April 2007. In terms of the above statement this is a very good quality audience recording with very little audience 'noise' between songs and a good level and clean overall sound that captures all elements of the show. I guess it is also a collectors item for any fan of Kristin, it's a cliche we probably use [...]
