I’ve been lucky enough to see PJ Harvey twice in concert. Once in my hometown of Chicago while she toured in support of To Bring You My Love and once at Royal Albert Hall in London. After seeing clips of Jimi Hendrix playing at Royal Albert Hall, I dreamed of attending a concert at the historic venue. My previous job brought me to London for two weeks and by chance PJ Harvey was playing live during my stay so getting a ticket was a must. Fear of getting lost and not wanting to be late, I arrived very early for the show and strolled through adjacent Kensington Gardens before entering the gorgeous hall. It was a magical night. PJ and her band were wonderful…maybe someday I’ll return.
It would be so hard for me to make a definitive list of my all time favorite records. Leaving off just one would pain me but someday I’ll create that list. I do know that PJ Harvey’s Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea would be on it.
I adore every track …. below are a just a few.
