Antony And The Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now (Vinyl)

Antony And The Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now (Vinyl)

Antony & The Johnsons pull back from their louder, more flamboyant debut album on their second studio album for a more intimate and bluesy experience. It gets closer to Antony's roots as an androgynous cabaret celebrity. 2005's "I am a Bird Now" is a serious artistic expression with a lot of help by serious artists. Antony is joined by Rufus Wainwright on "What Can I Do?" Lou Reed contributes mightily to "Fistful of Love." The song "Spiraling" gets the tender touch of Devendra Banhart." And Antony's first musical hero and inspiration Boy George performs a duet with him on "You Are My Sister."
