"Biophilia, Björk... this is maybe my favorite of her albums. I love 'Virus' on this, I love everything, and I also love everything all the work that went into it, all of the concepts behind the album. I think it's an album that teaches about music."Watch this moment
"There's a 13 minute version of this that when I first heard it completely changed the way I viewed interpreting songs, interpreting folk songs. She is an unsung hero of American music; not enough people know about Patty Waters."Watch this moment
"Yeah, this is a really great kind of psychedelic album and it takes you a lot of different places. Favorite track, 'A House Is Not a Motel,' maybe? I don't know, I love all of this."Watch this moment
"I have this on Spotify as a favorite. She is always surprising when she performs live. She is a singer that every jazz singer today should listen to. She is the most adventurous performer. Her voice is magnificent. I love these songs. I like her live because that's when you really see how wild she is and how free she is."Watch this moment
"I don't think I know this album Huevos but look at this cover. It's just going to be a really fun moment for me to listen to this."Watch this moment
