Country/folk singer-songwriter Tift Merrittgraced the WFMU studios on a recent sunny Saturday afternoon and recorded an electrifying set of six songs, accompanying herself on guitar and piano. Possessing an extraordinarily beautiful voice, and in complete command of her powers, this is not a set you will want to miss. Tift also produces a show on KRTS out of Marfa, Texas, called "The Spark", which "explores the real lives and processes of the people behind great works of art." As if that isn't enough, her muses entice her now and again into picking up a camera as well. (Jeffrey Davison, WFMU 2012.)
