2010 live release from the singer/songwriter and founder of Throwing Muses and 50FootWave. Cats And Mice captures a unique solo performance presented complete and unedited, recorded amid the lush acoustics of San Francisco's fabled Jazz club Yoshi's. The set list draws deep from the well of Appalachian Folk songs and murder ballads that her grandparents taught her, which typically feature in her rare "Shady Circle" appearances at people's homes. Bantering with and even taking requests from the faithful audience, she performs stunning versions of songs from her solo career (from Hips and Makers up to 2010's Crooked), and even a couple of Throwing Muses favorites. Several make their first appearance on any Hersh release here!

Kristin Uplugged.
Full disclosure. I am one of those that listens (purchases) everything Kristin puts out. I'm a big fan. For those who are familiar with Kristin's work, this will not disappoint. For those that are not familiar, this is as good as place to start as any other release. She has never really put out anything that wasn't really, really good. I am also a sucker for music that has been stripped down to just singer and guitar/piano, which this is. And did I say that it was recorded live, which I usually do not care for because I don't like to hear the crowd. Except for introduction. the crowd doesn't get in the way of enjoying the music. Highly Recommended.

great.
This catches her personality that she shows at her performances so well, it felt like attending one. And the sound is so crisp and clean, which doesn't often happen in live recordings. I could listen to this over and over.

Raw and sweet
Quality live recording of a Kristin Hersh concert from 2009. It is an officially licensed recording, the first release on this new label. The set list is interesting and varied, including (among others) songs from "Learn to Sing Like a Star" and some traditional murder ballads! Kristin's delivery is raw yet sweet. A fine addition to any fan's collection and a decent introduction for the curious.
