Chicago songbird, violinist and guitarist Heather Lynne Horton had many muses for her new album, “Get Me To A Nunnery,” out this Friday on Pauper Sky Records. Not the least of which were fellow strong feminist voices like Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush and Sinead O’Connor (the album was actually mastered the day O’Connor died in late July), all of whom embody the fighting spirit of the record.
Its title is a riff on a line in “Hamlet” in which the main character insults his former paramour Ophelia in a misogynistic rage.
