Anais Mitchell, Lyndell Montgomery

Event Description

"the earthiness of Shawn Colvin, the child-like bite of Joanna Newsom, and the urban jumpiness of Ani DiFranco... lyrics are sprinkled with rosy similes ("you roll like the rolling waters/you rise like the bright morning stars") while they simultaneously touch on everything from politics ("Hobo's Lullaby") to literature ("Namesake," a reference to Mitchell's namesake, Anais Nin) to mythology ("Hades & Persephone")... These elements, as disparate as they might seem, come together as nicely as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg..." - ALL MUSIC GUIDE
