Joanna Newsom
Joanna Newsom could be a character straight out of Tolkien's books, but alas she's the last wave to the "avante folk" or "anti-folk" or whatever-you-wanna-call-it movement (Devendra, Panda, Sufjan, et al).
ISAAC BROCK: That Joanna Newsome album is amazing. There's something about [her] music -- it's honest without trying to be folk, but it is. And somehow it's more contemporary because it's not trying to be modern. I don't know if heartstrings are real, but if they are, they're damn good at jerking on them.
Joanna just finished touring Europe and will be returning to North America to play:
