Marc Ribot & My Brightest Diamond - Bird On A Wire (Leonard Cohen cover)
We saw My Brightest Diamond at The Troubadour last night. What a treat. As Rebecca observed on our way out, “you love a performance” - and I do! I see a lot of shows, so sometimes the figures standing on stage, earnestly strumming guitars, blend together. Shara Worden, on the other hand, is remarkable. She took the stage in a mask and homemade costume, danced, told stories, played guitar, keys, autoharp, ukelele and… an instrument I don’t know. And of course she sang. Shara Worden’s voice is one of my favorite in music and she was just smashing last night.
Because it’s Friday, here’s a cover of My Brightest Diamond and NY-based guitar wizard Marc Ribot playing Leonard Cohen. This is another from MOJO’s great Leonard Cohen Covered tribute.
