Hope it heals just fine

I saw and listened to Kristin Hersh live this week. She delivered a nearly note-perfect performance even with a damaged left thumb, including great solo guitar interpretations of several fiendishly complex Throwing Muses songs. Catch her on tour now!

Kristin's album Speedbath was released for free download early this year: please donate if you like it. To choose but one track, Rubidoux has the form of one of those Appalachian lullabies that seem to be part of Kristin's bloodstream. It is wrapped in just a few chords from her Les Paul, but picked repeatedly, like a pernicious scab. Ooooh, that hurts.
