    Despite Having All The Right Ingredients, Allen Stone Turns Lukewarm On Allen Stone

    ​ To describe Allen Stone's sultry vocal apparatus most accurately, one might resort (as I will) to whimsical faunery such as: vocal chords that were surely forged from a golden harp's wistful strings, cured in angel's tears and brushed gently with a flying unicorn's softest feathers.

    Do Right Woman, Do Right Man: The Top Ten Gender-Bending Covers of All Time

    At Tuesday's Fleet Foxes show, Robin Pecknold covered the folk ballad "Silver Dagger," popularized in the 1960s by Joan Baez.
