Don't Do It by Sharon Van Etten
But back to Ms. Van Etten. She is working on new material with Aaron Dessner of The National. Check out her track, Don’t Do It, above. And get out to see her live is she is in your town.
Van Etten is one of the real ones. I am not kidding. There is a lot of crap out there. I hear it…sometimes I see it….so when I hear goodness? I can get a little over the top. Want to make something of it? Meet me in the parking lot, punk.
