Joanna Newsom - 81
Joanna Newsom may be something of an acquired taste; her songs and albums may be long and meandering. There is, however, something definitely worth savouring about a talented musician going about her business with such singular vision.
I was lucky enough to see her perform a special afternoon set at the Latitude festival one year; not even the presence of I am Kloot’s John Bramwell yapping through much of the performance right in front of me was enough to destroy the magical enchantment that Newsom was able to conjure unaccompanied except by her harp.
