Right now I am really into ‘Have One On Me’ by Joanna Newsom. She has this amazing voice that kind of sounds like Gin Wigmore, except it sings the most amazing ballads, and she bends it in such ways that I've never heard before. Joanna plays the harp, and I love her second album called ‘Ys’ (with Van Dyke Parks as producer and orchestra composer) where she plays it on all the songs. On this album though (or should I say albums, there are three discs in the pack), she plays a bit of harp and some piano, but of course mainly vocals. Newsom’s voice is amazing, and her harmonising is beautiful. She has this way of singing the lyrics that make you want to listen again and again. The songs (written by her) are both breathtaking, and catchy. I’m loving this album and I’ve only got through the first CD.Here's a link to her preform her song 'Good Intentions Paving Company' from the album 'Have One On Me', and here is another link of her singing 'Emily' and playing the harp.
