LesbiaNation Exclusive: Ferron and Bitch
http://www.gaywired.com/article.cfm?id=19564§ion=677/11/2008
Every now and then, an artistic and political convergence, or rather,
a combustion, occurs in which incendiary talent meeting talent
repositions and challenges popular culture. That intense energy,
light, life and truth-seeking emanates from the confluence of folk
icon Ferron and bad-assed, take-no-prisoners Bitch, who are currently
touring Ferron's 14th album together, Boulder, which Bitch produced
and stamped with her indelible style.
Ferron, a Canadian-born folk and women's' music icon from back in the
day when women's music was considered by a generation of feminist
lesbians to be rebellious, sex-positive, political and prescient is,
widely considered by critics and her fans to deliver that kind of
monumental, lyrical storytelling that is generally only reserved for
the big boys like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.
