I'm super excited for Anais Mitchell's new Folk Opera Hadestown to be released on March 9th. Why? Maybe it's because I find Anais to be just delightful. Maybe it's because I am amazed she wrote a Folk Opera based on Orpheus and Eurydice and Hades and Persephone. That's quite the undertaking. And she made it sound good. Maybe it's because the album features Greg Brown and Ani Difranco portraying Hades and Persephone.
I just tried to pre-order the album off of the Righteous Babe Records website and it just wouldn't finish the job. They seem to have a lot of problems in this area, although the website is light years better than it was just a couple of years ago.
