Content wise, this doesn't have much more than I could already access via CASH (http://kristinhersh.cashmusic.org/), but it's beautifully designed and it is really nice to have Kristin's words in something I can hold in my hands.

beauty.

I love the packages Kristin puts together now, music, essays, liners, lyrics, this is an album that exists as a book only (w/ download code). Great idea. And great music of course. The writing, always, is wonderful.

Great accompaniment to the music

Kristin Hersh is a treasure, surely one of the greatest songwriters of the modern era. "Crooked" complements her 2010 album of the same name and solidifies the quality of her work in my mind.
