Hundreds of Lions

Erin McKeown has done it again. She's come out with an album that is unique, and uniquely hers. As a musician, she is very hard to categorize. If I had to pick one, I'd call her music Folk, but that really doesn't cover it. This current album Hundreds of Lions is very hard to classify. It is acoustic. But it almost sounds like really mellow techno. But also orchestral. Orchestral Techno? I've never heard of it, but hey! This is Erin Mckeown. Rebel and rule breaker and fabulous musician.

What is amazing to me is that I never would have gotten "in to" her music if she hadn't been opening for a concert I attended years and years ago. I've since stopped listening to the main act from that concert, but Erin McKeown continues to be on my favorites list. I have all her albums thus far. But even if someone had handed me one of her albums I probably wouldn't have "got" it with out the live performance. Because she is 100% better live. No, make that 1000% better. She has this huge amount of energy. Her concerts positively rock. Even if she is a one woman show. So go see her, if you ever get the chance. It's the only way to really get "hooked."
