Album Notes

From The All Music Guide, by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

After the release of Throwing Muses' fifth album, Red Heaven, Kristin Hersh, the band's lead singer/songwriter, took a break from the group and issued her first solo album, the acoustic Hips and Makers, in early 1994. Thanks to the airplay the single "Your Ghost" - a duet with R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe - received, the album sold more copies than any of the Muses' releases. Later that year, Hersh also released the Strings EP, which featured versions of selected songs from the album recorded with a string quartet, and did a solo tour. Despite her success as a solo artist, she kept the Muses going as well, releasing their next record, University, in February 1995. Throwing Muses and Hersh as a solo artist moved from Sire to Rykodisc, forming the boutique label Throwing Music in 1996; the label's first release was the final Muses album Limbo, which appeared that summer.

Before the Muses hit the road in support of Limbo, Hersh began work on her second solo album, wrapping it up in early 1997. At the completion of the Limbo tour, Hersh disbanded Throwing Muses, claiming that it was no longer economically feasible to continue with the band. The acoustic-based Strange Angels, her first post-Muses album, was released by Rykodisc in February 1998. That year, she also released Murder, Misery and Goodnight, a collection of lullabies and Appalachian folk songs, as a Throwing Music exclusive. In 1999, Hersh and Throwing Music returned to her original label 4AD for Sky Motel, 2001's Sunny Border Blue, and 2003's The Grotto. Hersh also established the Works in Progress series, a subscription service of exclusive rarities, through Throwing Music's website, www.throwingmusic.com.

The definitive live Hersh
author: Nigel Whitten
                            
This is without doubt the best live Kristin Hersh CD available. Recorded when her voice was at its peak, it is an intimate recording and gains everything from it. Buy immediately, you won't be disappointed.

A live CD that captures a warm and intimate show

This CD perfectly records an intimate and warm acoustic show by Kristin Hersh. The breadth of emotion and the musical range of her career on display here, are enhanced by the warmth and humour of her spoken interludes. If you are thinking of buying this one, don't hesitate - get it!
