Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When Kristin Hersh embarked on her solo career with 1994's masterpiece Hips & Makers, it was as if she was determined to exorcise every trace--bar her distinctive, serrated vocals--of the unique sound she had developed with Throwing Muses. Hips & Makers was a brutally sparse, ascetically acoustic recording (and, incidentally, one of the finest albums of the 1990s). Since then, Hersh's reliably excellent solo albums have plotted a gradual course back to whence she came. Strange Angels and Sky Motel saw the reintroduction of electric guitars and an under-rated (especially by Hersh herself) pop sensibility. Though Sunny Border Blue is a solo album in the strictest sense--Hersh plays all the instruments, except drums on one track--it sounds almost like a follow-up to Throwing Muses' The Real Ramona and Hunkpapa, which is obviously no bad thing. "White Sucker", "Trouble" and "Spain" are especially impressive additions to one of the most formidable songbooks ever written. --Andrew Mueller
