Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Prolific, you might call her. Whether it is her musical output or her brood of children, Kristin Hersh is a busy, creative soul. In 1994, after guiding her band Throwing Muses through several influential albums, Hersh acknowledged her desire for a solo career. The overflow of songs and ideas from her solo debut, Hips and Makers, wound up on Strings, an EP named for its chamber arrangements of four songs from the full-length album. "Me and My Charms" gives a revolving Philip Glass-like decorum to the more austere original. The simple piano and childlike vocals of "Beestung" show Hersh's use of vocal shading to enhance the lyrical intricacy of the song. By contrast, "Sundrops" features the jagged poetic delivery we normally associate with Patti Smith. To her great credit, Hersh is able to reinterpret her own well-loved originals and show us that a song isn't always finished when the final take is recorded. --Lois Maffeo

4.0 out of 5 stars A must-have companion to Hersh's "Hips and Makers", July 18, 1998
This is a collection of several songs from Kristin's album "Hips and Makers" arranged for strings. In some cases, while the sound is pleasing, the arrangements worked better for me in some of the "calmer" songs like "Velvet Days." There are also three other tracks, including a cover of "When the Levee Breaks".

5.0 out of 5 stars What "Me and My Charms" is really about......
Most people misinterpret this song, however if you listen to the lyrics it's all explained for you in black and white, and it is one of my favorite songs ever. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars KRISTIN HERSH'S CHAMBER MUSIC
"Strings" is romance, or romantic orchestration substituting and proving more rewarding than the concept of love, illusion being more longstanding than reality. Read more
