So I first heard Anaïs Mitchell, thanks to Ani D and Righteous Babe Records who released three albums by her. I was floored the first time I ever heard her sing and it continues to this day.
These tracks are from Hadestown which was a folk-opera that she wrote. It features Greg Brown in the first part and then Ani DiFranco in the second amongst Anaïs Mitchell's band. Talk about a triple threat! It's pretty much epic as far as folk albums go and it's one of my favs!
This track here is off her new album, Young Man in America, which she released on Wilderland Records... which, don't quote me on this because I haven't been able to confirm it yet, but I think that is her own record label. She received some help from Thirty Tigers which is cool as well.
I thought I'd include this here as it's fairly new and recently came to my attention. Bon Iver was invited by Triple J to do a show and he chose to do a cover of Coming Down which is frickin fantastic!
