Great filming brah! She certainly is a cutie...and that voice can be very surprising to come from a daisy like that. It's beautiful work, I like these sorts of sounds...
Her singing is the way it is because of her voice, whether it sounds similar to Bjork or not. I admit, Bjork came to mind the first time I heard Joanna, but I doubt there's any intention.
Yeh an she sounds even younger, but what the fuck.. her music is beautiful, specialy when realy stoned in winter, an snow helps, an lots of commas.. yeh, lots of commas an bad punctuation. Ahh sorry iv done it again, done what.. , , , , ? yes.. ,
Great video! This is incredibly close to the studio version, so I'm assuming it also dates from 2004 or so. I hope Joanna doesn't smooth off too many edges from her characterful voice.
I barely heard her music like 10 min ago, but i am already in love. her voice is amazing. An instant favortite. I love stumbling on sounds that are different and full of spirit like Joanna's.
I'm not sure I get how people gripe about her voice. Yes, it's different, but technically there's nothing wrong with it. She's hitting all the pitches she wants. Her voice is intrinsically tied to her music, like Waits or Dylan or whoever.
If you can listen to Dylan, Jeff Magnum, Bjork etc there should be no problem appreciating her voice given time. It took me a while but it was worth it.
Everybody criticised Billie Holiday saying that her voice was awful. A lot of people think that Frank Sinatra isn't technically a very good singer and that Bob Dylan was a great writer but everyone else seems to be able to perform his songs better than he ever could... 'cos y'know what? People have different tastes, so get over it.
Donovan and his mighty hurdygurdy! Miss Newsom is classically trained at her craft, and i did not get the impression that she is fake when i met her. If she is fake, she puts up a damn good front.
I agree, her freaking voice reminds me of Bjork (not so much of Bjork's voice but the same style of freaking voice in a singer and for her age) =) Thank you so very much for posting this! Never saw nothing of hers alive, but 'Sprout and the Bean' vid so far. She's so sweet and pretty! Lovely =) I love the album, I do have it ;)
I heard Joanna on SIRIUS and fell in love. Her voice is amazing. Sorta a mix of Bjork and Jolie Holland. Unfortuantely she was too close to the mic attimes in this video. Still amazing.
she is 25! I love it

Her music rocks; her voice is beautiful, as are her intelligent and interesting lyrics. I'd rather not stop listening but you may if you'd like.
