I heard the live version of this probably ten years or more ago on the local public radio Saturday night show. I liked it enough to search out the CD online. So she’s done it again recently, sounds good. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Q8qsTXIb3CQ/maxresdefault.jpg "Jonatha Brooke - Inconsolable!

I bought the Plumb album (on cassette!) when it came out after discovering it at a record store listening station. I couldn’t find it on CD until recently. It’s a really great album. I love her voice. Thanks for the link. ---

Thanks, I just loved her earlier band The Story, and I always have her song Steady Pull with me (off the album with the same name)… [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/UcFgPhwWMLM/maxresdefault.jpg "Steady Pull") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcFgPhwWMLM) ---

This one (off of _Plumb_) is my favorite… “Nothing Sacred” [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/C2t1yFOuBY4/hqdefault.jpg "Nothing Sacred, from the album PLUMB, by Jonatha Brooke") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2t1yFOuBY4) ---

Wow lovely to see Jonatha mentioned here. I used to know her, but lost touch a while ago. @Equipoise and I interviewed her for Equipoise’s radio show _Suspended in Gaffa._ Then shortly after that I stood next to Jonatha in line for a Jane Siberry show in NYC. We talked for an hour or so–general admission–mostly about other female artists. Especially Jane and Mary Margaret O’Hara. I bumped into her again at a MMO’H show at the Fez, one of the greatest concert experiences of my life: Victoria Williams and Lou Reed came out of the audience to join her on that tiny stage. My favorite song by the Story will always be [Dog Dreams.](https://youtu.be/OJGtNyRZyYw) ---

My favorite is _Last Innocent Year_. Kinda dreamy/trippy.
