So you filled your hands

Lhasa de Sela made The Living Road in 2003. Above and beyond being an absolutely incredible album, it contains two songs that are absolutely key to The Falling Woman, which used to be called The Soft Road. The most important was "Anywhere On This Road." ( Lyrics and sound behind the cut. )

Anyway, I just found out that Lhasa has finally, finally released a new album, Rising. Apparently it's all in English (I do love her French and Spanish songs, though; I'll miss them), and has its fair share of bluegrass and (North) American roots influences, according to the reviews on iTunes (link opens in iTunes Store).

So yes, I'm quite excited about getting my hands on this.
