簡介。。。。。。
Classically trained harpist Joanna Newsom uses her appreciation of Appalachian folk and bluegrass for an oddly alluring set of indie rock melodies. Milk-Eyed Mender, which follows her homemade EP releases Walnut Whales and Yarn and Glue, is rich in harvest colors. Newsom's childlike voice brings an unstudied grace to an innocent setting of songs, and such quirkiness is hard to find among most guitar-driven indie acts. From the more whimsical moments of "Peach, Plum, Pear" and "Inflammatory Writ" to the dovelike ballad "This Side of the Blue," Newsom welcomes the listener to sink into its imagination. Delicate harp arrangements are nicely sprinkled among specks of pianos, organs, and a harpsichord, only adding to the fascination that is Milk-Eyed Mender. Some may find the album to be overly sweet in spots due to Newsom's girlish voice; however, the fairytale-like appeal of Milk-Eyed Mender is far too intriguing to dismiss. Newsom exists in several musical spheres, one being a member of the Pleased, while not forgetting how wonderful it is to live in a warm place that leaves you bright-eyed and hopeful for only what is good in life.(From AMG)

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。評價指數:8.0/10
Joanna的歌聲讓我回到童年,豐富的想象,絢爛的色彩,像一個又一個可愛的童話故事。第一次認識她就是通過上面的那個video,那個叫做Sprout And The Bean的童話,有著夢幻般的意境、美妙得如行雲流水般的音符。於是我喜歡上了這個會彈豎琴的女孩。不過Joanna的歌對於我來説不能連續地聼很久,這也是真的。呵呵。
