Joanna Newsom and the Ys Street Band


A corny name yes, but harpist-du-jour Joanna Newsom follows up the stunning 'Ys' with a charming little EP, demonstrating the more folky side of her work.

There are re-workings of old songs 'clam crab cockle cowrie' and 'cosmia', as well as a new song 'colleen' which merges bluegrass and celtic folk styles.

Plus, she's still pretty

In other news Australia are playing South Africa in the cricket world cup semi final today so I'm off to get a good spot in front of the big screen in my local. Have a nice day.
