MY BRIGHTEST DIAMOND

Bring Me the Workhorse

2006-11-27

Shara Worden is the magician behind this cross between rock, beat poetry and opera. She opened for Sufjan Stevens and has the same flair for the dramatic with musical flourishes everywhere. But where Stevens has this small quiet voice, Worden lets loose with diva-like power. Songs for the philosophers in the audience, not the driving-home crowd. MJVD
