Hope you've had a chance to revisit and re-evaluate it since. It's 18 months since this album's release and I still can't stop listening! The words now inhabit my mind to the extent that as I walked along my local windswept beach recently I found I could recite all of Sawdust and Diamonds, and that's a lot of words. You're right, it's poetry, and no doubt the classic poetry scholars may scoff, but if there are better written, more beautiful, lyrics in the rock era I'd love to hear them. This CD is a major high point in my 35 years of record buying. Good write-up, although surprised that you weren’t able to latch on to Milk-eyed Mender at the time.

Joanna Newsom- Ys: This is probably the biggest surprise on the entire list. Anyone who knows me is well aware of the deep disdain I hold for poor singers. I have never been able to appreciate the poetry and skill of Bob Dylan, because I can’t get over the fact that he sounds like a drunk bum who got worked over pretty badly by the railroad police. Joni Mitchell has always sounded like something between a banshee and a fish monger and has born the brunt of my distaste for poor “folksy” singing. And for a long time, Joanna Newsom was near the top of the list. Her voice is at times painful to listen to. I never was able to listen to her first album, Milk-Eyed Mender, in its entirety and had no regrets about that. When I heard that she had a new album, Ys, coming out, I was interested but merely because I was surprised that her label didn’t drop her flat after her first mistake. Then Colin posted the lyrics to opening track “Emily” on his blog and I was captivated (you can also find the lyrics to Ys’ tracks “Only Skin” and “Sawdust & Diamonds” at Brightness Falls). It was beauty, through and through. I was hooked. I loaded the album to my iPod and went to the best speaker system I have- our car stereo. There, while dropping off the recycling, I fell in love with this entire album. The arrangements and compositions seem to have been dropped from the Italian renaissance and her lyrics are as poetic as any that the Bard penned. The beauty of phrases like “Let us go! Though we know it’s a hopeless endeavor/ The ties that bind, they are barbed and spined and hold us close forever/ Though there is nothing would help me come to grips with a sky that is gaping and yawning/ There is a song I woke with on my lips as you sailed your great ship towards the morning” from opening track “Emily” do not lose their beauty even though they come from a voice that sounds akin to a cat in heat. If anything it forces the listener to take note of the wondrous wordplay because you can’t tune out her voice to listen solely to her beautiful harp-playing. It’s a short album in that it only has six tracks, but each song stretches out to draw the listener in to its unique world. The shortest track, “Cosmia”, is still over 7 minutes long. I urge all listeners to give the album a chance. You may want to skip it once you hear Newsom’s voice, but you will not regret exposing yourself to her magical music-making. [...] [...] 3.
