Combining the lyricism of Elliott Smith with the electric punch of the Foo Fighters and the grace of Natalie Merchant, Kristin Hersh sings about ordinary things from a decidedly un-ordinary point of view. Sample these gifts from her new album Sky Motel and travel to a colorful parallel universe that's uniquely Kristin and consistently inviting. Check out her Official Site, and sign-up to receive her new single, "Echo" with a couple of sparkling b-sides.
