The Beauty of British Song: PJ Harvey

Polly Jean Harvey debuted with the album Dry in 1992, which American rocker Kurt Cobain listed among his twenty favorite albums of all time.


PJ Harvey was actually both the name of a group and the singer, but the trio disbanded after two LPs, and PJ Harvey the singer became a solo artist beginning with the album To Bring You My Love.

Harvey became as controversial and eccentric as her edgy music, performing in costumes more befitting an American disco singer than a British alternative indie rocker.

More recent PJ Harvey albums include Stories From the City, Stories from The Sea, released in 2000. and White Chalk, issued in 2007.
