Kristin Hersh: Wild Vanilla
Casting my mind back to Throwing Muses’ Red Shoes... Sure, I’d been taken aback by the groovability of much of the 1987 Chains Changed EP, and 1989’s “Fleetwood Mac on acid” Dizzy, but it was the Madchester styled Red Shoes taken from 1991’s The Real Ramona that floored me. Good job that my first encounter with it was hearing it live, otherwise I might well have fallen down.
The wobbly-groovable Wild Vanilla matches that experience and reminds me of why I love Kristin’s music. It’s been over twenty years since I discovered her. Yeah, blame Melody Maker.
