NME thinks that her voice is ‘weird’.

MP3: Joanna Newsom – The Book Of Right On

I’m in the minority. Over the course of the last four years, I’ve tried time and time again to enjoy both of Joanna Newsom’s critically acclaimed full-lengths (2004′s The Milk-Eyed Mender & 2006′s Ys). Unfortunately, the so-called magic has failed to satiate my overzealous ears. Due to sheer curiosity and an abundance of rave reviews from Night 1, I decided to attend her second sold out performance at BAM’s Howard Gilman Opera House. The evening was broken into two segments: the first half dedicated to Ys (in its entirety, accompanied by The Brooklyn Philharmonic); the latter section split evenly between new tracks and favorites from her debut LP. For nearly three hours, the California-based harpist & vocalist truly stunned the jam-packed auditorium. The arrangements were flawless, her unique (yet divisive) voice was spot-on and her stage banter was beyond charming. While I haven’t been transformed into a mega-fan (by a long shot), I can honestly say my distaste has severely dissipated, and I look forward to experiencing Joanna’s live show again sometime very soon. Kudos, J – well done! Visit Ms. Newsom at her official site.
