Colorado born Josephine Foster has practically
defined what it means to be an outsider folk
singer. Initially with Born Heller and then solo
and accompanied by the Supposed, her unsettling
soprano and way with a song takes the eerie
otherness of those early Appalachian ballads and
brings them, whispering, into our dreams.
The Coming Gladness brings the folk aesthetic that
Josephine has explored in her recent albums to the
psyche rock territory of her recordings with the
Supposed. This intense, uncompromising music is
the looming badlands landscape lit by the charged
lightning strikes of an extraordinary voice.
That voice belongs to no movement, trend or
fashion, any more than the equally haunted spirit
of Tim Buckley, another outsider, another unique
talent, did in his day. It is simply great music
and Josephine Foster is, simply, a great singer,
simply a great songwriter. Guitarist Victor
Herrero and percussionist Alex Nielson more than
contribute to the otherworldly sound of the album.
