anais mitchell - young man in america

cheers for the revive all. never heard her before but the glowing positivity got me curious. first listen to young man in america presently and this is damn good. instant love on "dyin' day." still in the middle of the album, but this is serious business so far.

holy smokes this is fantastic. "shepherd" was a heartbreaker, damn. 4.5 mics. definitely checking out the rest of the discography.

Yes, "Shepherd" is amazing. Absolutely gorgeous and impressive finger picking pattern.

xxxxp Great post, Tim F!

*newER stuff

I was in NYC last week and finally got to see Hadestown on Broadway. Without a doubt the most enjoyable musical I've ever seen. Just an outrageously impressive evolution from the Hadestown album to what she produced for Broadway. At times was so absorbed with watching the musicians on stage, especially the trombone player, that the show (which is itself truly exceptional for its ability to do so much with so little) became secondary.

Saw Hadestown for the second time this weekend in Chicago. Highly recommend it if you have the chance to see it on this tour. The guy they have playing Hades is outrageously great.
