review by Maurice Dielemans

“This one is for the sailors, living in our visions and drunk on our own sweet wine” is written in tiny letters at the back of the beautiful cd cover. That’s a big promise. And yes, like some sort of sympathetic wizard, the New Orleans singer Myshkin serves you –with a warm and gorgeous mix of very macabre folksongs and neo romantic gipsy music .

She continues her journey that she started on her 2 other cd’s Blue Gold and Why Do All Country Girls Leave? In contrast with other - let’s call it post-feminist - singers, Myshkin dreams about the past and surrounds her poetic Rosebuds†Bullets with a glare of mystery and pirate romance.

Why this New Orleans swamp singer Myshkin –and her very good band The Ruby Warblers - is choosing for eastern European fairy tail polka’s remains a big guess, but for sure Myshkin is begging to be heard.
