Any other fans on here?
I got into Joan Wasser first through her work with Antony and the Johnsons. It wasn't until last year, with her excellent LP Damned Devotion, that I really took a deep dive into her songwriting and those hypnotic vocal stylings got under my skin. With the release of a retrospective called Joanthology and an upcoming tour, it just seems like an appropriate time to get the word out on ETS!
As an aside, I had no idea until very recently that she was involved romantically with Jeff Buckley at his untimely death, and recorded an album in tribute to him with Those Bastard Souls. In fact, her career goes back to long before that with The Dambuilders. A big catalogue, certainly, and one full of hidden gems.
