Kristin Hersh's songs that shine

Kristin Hersh is a singular artist. For almost 40 years she’s been writing and performing songs. She may have gotten her start as a kid in Throwing Muses, but her creative life has expanded to other bands, solo work, critically acclaimed books, and iconic collaborations.

Even if you’re not across Kristin’s work, you’re going to love the conversation you’re about to hear. About the magic of song, how music industry gets in the way of art, and the deep friendships she’s formed across her life.

From Vic Chesnutt to Sam Cooke to X, this is one of my favourite conversations about music, muses, and creativity.

• Violent Femmes - 'Kiss Off'
• X - 'White Girl'
• Vic Chesnutt – 'Bakersfield'
• Tendon Levey - 'Tendril'
• Sam Cooke - 'Nothing Can Change This Love'
