Cats and Mice – Kristin Hersh
Kristin Hersh is another artist I would probably have never got into had it not been for the Uncut: 4AD cover disk I got in the nineties.
Hersh, stepsister of Tanya Donelly (4AD and This Mortal Coil) and former lead singer of Throwing Muses (also 4AD), has a very unique sound. Her early stuff takes a bit of getting used to but this album, Learn to Sing Like a Star and Crooked show a much more mature and well developed Hersh than her earlier primary release groundbreaking Hips and Makers album.
This is a live album recorded sometime in 2010. As with most live albums, this is an excellent showcase of Hersh’s works spanning some years. I have tried to get to see her in the past, but she never seems to come to Daventry 😦
