I’ve got a couple kids. And they drive me crazy. The most recent incident was a bad fall at the park by my 3 year old resulting in 4 stitches just millimeters from his right eye. Then one day this weekend both kids cried and tantrumed off and on all morning (mostly on). But all of that is quickly forgotten with a hug, a shared book, or a single that makes it out of the infield at t-ball.
Because of my kids I can relate to Lisa Cerbone’s new song for her daughter “Mia Noelle”. The lines in here that strike home about kids are “we have fallen under your spell” and “making friends with everyone”. That’s the truth about little kids.
Lisa’s new record is called We Were All Together and is the first for her in over seven years. Lisa has worked extensively with Mark Kozelek in the past, although on this record she collaborates with some of Baltimore’s finest musicians.
I was introduced to Lisa on a lullaby sampler put out by La Blogotheque. The songs on the new record can be thought of as lullaby’s as well. They’re mostly soft with gentle fingerpicking and subtle instrumentation. Lisa’s voice is stunning and haunting in equal quantities. You can buy this here now at Amazon.
