A very enjoyable interview. Juliana reveals a lot about herself, and gives the listener an insight into her muse.
The interviewer does a fine job. He's a big fan, and does other fans of JH a favor when he accidentally elicits a tidbit like "But you don't know me" from her.
I didn't find the telephonic nature of the interview distracting at all.
Her comments show a complex and remarkable talent.
The cuts from her album were outstanding, as well.
In this interview, Juliana Hatfield joins WUSM Music Director Clinton Kirby by phone. Kirby mixes the converstation with select cuts from the latest Hatfield album, "In Exile Deo". Kirby's eager questions reflect his knowledge and appreciation of Hatfield's career. Hatfield's melancholic responses are often confrontational, bordering on the hostile. Kirby could have edited out the awkward interactions that ensue. Instead, he let's the tape roll, giving the audience a revealing look at this idol/idolator interaction. The finished product likely will appeal to die hard Hatfield fans who relate to her attitude.
