Hush Little Baby–Richie Stearns with the Horseflies

We love this video from the Horseflies, which made it to MTV in the ’80s.

Excellent song! Hauntingly beautiful vocals and violin!

(And that is enough exclamation points for one post.)

More recently Richie’s played with Natalie Merchant–see the short documentary from the New York Times below. Look for Richie on banjo, Judy Hyman on fiddle, and Sandra Steingraber, last issue’s featured essayist and local author, on the dark side of hydrofracking.
