A visit to Boston!

Kristin Hersh - “Learn To Sing Like A Star”. Of the band Throwing Muses, but she’s been solo a long time. Her voice is sounding a bit worse for wear, but her songs are still strong and edgy. There are fewer quiet numbers than I’m used to but that’s a good thing. Songs like Sugar Baby and Under The Gun rock out.

Tanya Donelly - “This Hungry Life”. Also of Throwing Muses and Belly. Now HER voice is in great shape! Supposedly this CD was recorded live in the lobby of a hotel in Vermont in the summer (?). Whatever - this is a solid set of songs. The band and Ms. Donelly totally nail it. Each of her records has at least one perfect single on there. For this record, it’s “Kundalini Slide”.

Treat Her Right - “What’s Good for You”. I didn’t even know they put out a record! This was the late Mark Sandman’s band - another three piece - before the birth of Morphine. Saw them once at the Brendan Behan pub in Jamaica Plain. Does anyone remember?
