The Milk-Eyed Mender

Welcome back! I suddenly found myself without internet on Wednesday, but the universe provides. Well, it's time for some more free albums, you gangrenous dogs. Today, I found the folk harpist Joanna Newsom; with her 2004 debut album "The Milk-Eyed Mender". While her voice (self-described as "untrainable") will sometimes hit the occasional off-note, the entire piece taken as a whole is some of the most poignant music this side of John Tesh. Not that I'm saying she's anything like John Tesh, of course. She's actually enjoyable. To start with, I would recommend the track "The Sprout And The Bean".
