Song of the Day - April 5, 2005

I never heard of Black Bird Stitches until this weekend. Black Bird Stitches are Kirana Peyton on vocals, guitar, harmonium, bodhran, stomps, and bells and Paul Lamb on bass. Their self-titled debut album is truly great. It is hard to believe that I found two great albums never known to me before to post on the same day. Check out my other post on the Great Lake Swimmers. I have to thank the power of Rhapsody. Back to Black Bird Stitches, Kirana Peyton is a cross between Patti Smith and P.J. Harvey. One of the most powerful songs on the album is "Texas Woman," which deals with a woman who was beat to the edge of death by her man and she shot him dead. She was sent to death row and unjustly put to death. It is my song of the day. Click here to listen.
