Connie Converse and the disappearing artist

[John Bailey]

Nice read on a 50s/60s folk singer who never found fame and
mysteriously removed herself from view in 1974. No one knows what
happened to her, but someone found some old home recordings and now
they've really blown up. Reminded me somehow of Pynchon's milieu from
the Whole Sick Crew through to 24FPS (also the sublime Coen Bros film
Inside Llewyn Davis).
