Has anyone been turned on to Joseph Arthur yet? I recently bought his Come
to Where I'm From and like a lot of it. (Some is too dark for me, but it
may still grow on me.)
On his website (www.josepharthur.com), I saw him quoted in response to a
grammy nomination for his album's graphics or design or something. He's a
visual artist, too, like Joni, although very different in styles. What was
interesting to me was that he felt a little odd about his recognition for
his visual work when he felt that aspect was sort of his hobby, making
music was his love and vocation. I found it an ironic contrast to Joni's
repeated assertion that she's really a painter who has more success with
her music.
