Sibylle Baier

Originally recorded in West Germany in the early 1970's, Sibylle Baier's album Colour Green was re-released earlier this year on Orange Twin, and thank God it was. It's like turning on every light in your bedroom, but still not being able to get rid of all the shadows. It's excellent. It's mainly just one woman and a guitar, and it seems that's all these songs could ever need.

By the way, my best-of-2006 list will be up soon, and I don't want to hype it up, but it will probably be so good that it may conceivably change your political orientation.
