Cindy and John Doe on RollingStone.com
Cindy did a session just last month with John Doe to promote his new album, "Keeper", which she appears on. Here's one of the tunes for you, "Never Enough". The 3-song session and an interview with John can be found here at RollingStone.com.
Cindy singing at PJ20 w/ Eddie Vedder
Cindy had the surprise of the year to step on stage with John Doe at the recent Pearl Jam 20th Anniversary concert to realize that she would be singing 'Golden State' with none other than Eddie Vedder, and the moment was captured on fan cam for us all.
Crawdaddy Interview
There's an interview up with Cindy in the legendary Crawdaddy Magazine about the new release 'Bright Morning Stars'. In fact, it is the final interview that writer Denise Sullivan conducted for the "father" of rock n roll magazines, before it became an archived part of Paste Magazine after 40 years of on and off publication.
Cindy's Interview can be read here. And after reading that, have a look at the rest of the archives and learn more about this seminal publication and its' founder Paul Williams.

"This record is very close to our hearts. We were inspired to re-interpret the deep wealth and influence of the old traditional gospel songs that have effected us and our band; to re-connect with the source, both spiritual and musical that excited us to sing in the first place. Even if that source included The Jesus and Mary Chain." - Cindy Wasserman
