there’s a risk, there’s a twist, in anything worth doing

last night i got to see my pal jill sobule play with the lovely & talented erin mckeown, whose new album hundreds of lions was just released yesterday.

if you like these songs, buy it here !

a few of my favorites:

erin mckeown // you, sailor

erin mckeown // the foxes

erin mckeown // (put the fun back in) the funeral

erin mckeown // the lions
