Alice Swoboda :: Potter’s Field

The companion CD to the Oxford American’s recent Southern Music/Georgia issue contains a melancholic and swooning folk-jazz piece entitled “Potter’s Field,” by a woman named Alice Swoboda.

Led by Swoboda’s deep, soulful voice and cascading guitar, the track features minimal accompaniment of percussion and organ, though the players, much like Swoboda herself, remain unknown. The mysterious circumstances surrounding the artist are befitting the haunting nature of this masterful and dark piece of work . . .
