Artist: Katherine First
Album: Sweet Spot

Katherine First, spiritual leader and world-class violiner/fiddlist, has at long last achieved musical perfection.  Never before has the simple undulation of a string conveyed such complex emotion.  First is the first to express the "true self" through music, and in doing so gives the listener a glimpse of the naked human soul, an experience so overwhelming and awe-inspiring that it is difficult not to release your bowels in a fit of confused, raw, whirlwind emotion.  

So throw on a heavy duty trashbag and prance to the light-hearted "Barefoot Jig", go underwater to discover a magical world in "The Mermaid", have just what the doctor ordered in "Medicine Bow", and meet God herself in "Katherine's Lament".  Happy listening!
