The Gospel According To Alela Diane
Alela Diane loves her cat. That's one strike against her. Her music's been categorized as freak folk and that should be strike number two. But somehow despite these long odds I like Alela's brand of hippy folk. I like that the first 650 copies of her record Pirate's Gospel were hand sewn with lace and on each was an original drawing of a ship. I like the rural folk of "The Rifle", it reminds me of the Little House On The Prairie books-on-tape I'm forced to listen to on long car trips with my 5 year old son. She'll be at The Hideout on Thursday the 26th. Show starts at 9pm. Ezra Furman opens. More info here.
