Description

The singer talks with NPR Music's Ann Powers about Harvey's album I Inside the Old Year Dying, a ragged, highly crafted adaptation of her epic poem Orlam. It's a work that runs on the rhythm of the seasons and captures the beauty, fantastical rawness and occasional horror of English rural life.
