Have One on Me (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Have One On Me is the third studio album by Joanna Newsom, released on February 23, 2010 via Drag City. It is a triple album, although the music could have comfortably fit on a double album. Newsom produced Have One On Me herself, with the accompanying arrangements by Ryan Francesconi being noted by several reviewers as less ornate or fussy than those on Ys. Have One On Me finds Newsom exploring new sounds, such as the inclusion of instruments like tambura and kaval and the further development of other elements of Newsom's sound - electric guitar and a progression in the orchestral accompaniment. She also flirts with genres such as jazz and blues in some tracks, aside adding harmonies in others. Many of the songs are also reminiscent of Newsom's previous two studio albums and show a natural progression. Because of health problems and natural reasons, Newsom's voice has changed in comparison to her older in previous albums. The lyrics have also been described as more straightforward than Ys, though still cryptic. The album is also her first since The Milk-Eyed Mender to include tracks played on the piano instead of the harp.
