DEVANDRA BANHART’S new CD, CRIPPLE CROW<\/strong>, is a musical celebration
\nunderlining this Pied Piper’s neo-folk and ethnic influences. In the last couple
\nof years, Devendra has gone from an obscure folk singer to a celebrated advocate
\nof alternative-folk by promoting and playing with JOANNA NEWSOM, ANTONY
\nAND THE JOHNSONS and VASHTI BUNYAN. This troubadour, who started
\nout with only an acoustic guitar and insightful and poetic lyrics, has greatly
\nexpanded his musical and vocal presentation.<\/p>\n

CRIPPLE CROW<\/strong> is a beautiful testament to his musical and spiritual evolution.
\nThe gems on this CD include: QUEENBEE, I FEEL JUST LIKE A CHILD,
\nDRAGONFLYS, CHINESE CHILDREN, LONG HAIRED CHILD and
\nKOREAN DOGWOOD. The whole CD is just a joy to listen to.<\/p>\n

The mystical cover is a great contemporary South American take on the
\nfamous Beatles album cover – Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
\n4 of the songs have Spanish lyrics, and reflect Devendra’s Venezulean
\nchildhood musical influences.<\/p>\n
