JUST BECAUSE: JOANNA NEWSOM

Joanna Newsom is truly a one-of-a-kind artist. She plays the harp and the piano and has the most unusual voice you may have heard in a while. She is lovely, beautiful even and her boyfriend in Saturday Night Live's Andy Samberg. Oh, and she models. What? Yes, all of this is true of Joanna Newsom. Anyway, I fell in love with her 2004 album Milk Eyed Mender and have been hooked ever since. I reviewed her latest album, Have One On Me, a while back and listen to it when I'm feeling mellow. I'll start you off with arguably her most well-known song, The Sprout and the Bean. GREAT video. She is a rare and wonderful talent. Check out these clips of Joanna. Maybe you'll like her too!
