Really hoping to catch her live myself. It's been well over a decade since the last time I saw her at this point.
I've been a fan for a long time, but Let England Shake was just so goddamn good that it really rejuvenated my love for her. It just hit me in all the right places, and as an album I think it's my favorite thing she's ever done. For me it recalled the genius of Tom Waits's Real Gone (another all time favorite album of mine), and just annihilated everything else that dropped that year.
