Live singer/songwriter, girl w/ acous guit music. Folkie/indie Lord has been around for a while, gaining fame as a perennial busker, sacking Kurt Cobain (till Courtney stripped the ball from her) then producing fine indie pop solo and in collaboration w/ a who’s who including Elliot Smith and Nick Solomen (Bevis Frond). Here she is, as a new mom, in her old haunts, recording live to DAT on subway platforms under Boston/Cambridge; just her and her guitar. Her hyper melodic breathy girlee voice remains, her guit is folky and strummy mostly, and the songs are almost all cover-tributes ranging from Springsteen, Chilton, Dylan to clinical psycho Daniel Johnston. Cobain knew how to pick ‘em.
