Joanna Newsom - The Sprout And The Bean

The gorgeous Joanna Newsom seems to be a mystical creature from a faraway time and place, yet is at the forefront of the contemporary neo-folk movement, has a playful, childlike quality, yet in her poetry is depth and wisdom that seems beyond her years..
A rare gem.
If you ever get the chance to see her live, I thoroughly recommend that you do. It's extraordinary how this tiny woman, dwarfed by her grand harp and a huge stage, can have such a commanding presence.
