The Persephone Pickers: Sounds of the Verse
Jefferson gave me the Persephone Pickers’ CD Sounds of the Verse (from CD Baby) for our anniversary, and I am really enjoying it. The musical style is based on the music from Firefly
Even if you’re not a fan of the TV series or the movie, why not hop on over to The Persephone Pickers’ MySpace page, and see if you like it as much as I do?
