Kath Bloom and Loren MazzaCane Connors - "How It Rains"
Loren MazzaCane Connors plays music like this: he plucks a guitar string and bends it as far as he can while groaning in harmony. Simple as that. He's been doing it for years. It sounds like dying.
Kath Bloom sings like this: as if from within a hundred-year-old wax cylinder.
Goes together like a horse and carriage. [Buy]

Posted by Sean at June 24, 2005 7:03 AMCheers on Kath Bloom & Loren MazzaCane Connors. Their 1981-1984 album is a wonderful collection of old-fashioned low-fi folk. My favourite of their songs is When I Feel You Coming.

I got this album when released as an LP; remains one of my favorties. What white kids can do with the blues genre when they choose not to just copy styles. this sound is the heart of blues traditions...
Bloom comes from a classical music family, and her sense of what is musical is almost always on target.

Wow I feel like you guys have wiretaps in my brain. I was just thinking about posting about Loren Mazzacane Connors and Kath Bloom over at Popsheep. Have your Heard his Colaborations with His wife? They are also amazing, maybe I shall post on that!
Thanks for the great Richard Youngs track too!
