Antony and the Johnsons have a new album out. I haven't heard it yet, but I can't wait to score a copy. I do believe Antony Hegarty is an extraordinary singer and unique soul.
"I am a Bird Now" which came out a couple years ago now, is one of the great records. Beautiful, haunting, heart-breaking.
Antony is reportedly "transgendered" a self-described "bearded lady," or a "female Rip Van Winkle."
Whatever. His voice is totally amazing, a supremely expressive instrument.
Check out Antony and the Johnsons on Lettermen from a few years ago.
