My Brightest Diamond - Bring Me The Workhorse - mp3 review

I had a lucid dream this weekend.  First one I’ve had in years, but it was a very strange one because I didn’t actually do anything cool once I realized I was dreaming.  I just kind of sat where I was a look at the scenery around me.  It was a great feeling though.  Also made homemade ravioli from scratch.  Not sure if it was really any good though, my only other reference points were drunk and starving when they tried them.  Had fun making them anyway.

My Brightest Diamond is Shara Worden, granddaughter of an Epiphone-playing traveling evangelist, fathered by a National Accordion Champion, and mothered by a classical organist. Having a family of wanderers who migrated across the US every few years, the landscape and the musical influences were constantly changing. Spanish tangos, Sunday morning gospel, classical and jazz were the accompaniment to her home life. Her first song was recorded at age three and by age eight she was studying piano and performing in community musical productions.  In 2004, she began work on two records: one featuring songs accompanied by a string quartet titled “A Thousand Shark’s Teeth”, and a more standard rock album featuring a full band (featuring Earl Harvin on drums, Chris Bruce on bass, and, on one song, her father Keith on accordion) titled “Bring Me The Workhorse”, released to critical acclaim in August 2006 on Asthmatic Kitty Records. 

These tracks are from her upcoming release ‘Tear It Down’, which was release on 3/6/07 on Asthmatic Kitty.  Its a remix of the tracks from ‘Bring Me the Workhorse’.  I thought it’d be cool to include both the original versions from that record as well.  Enjoy:
