[EddyFranner]

Kate Bush, nothing new from her for some time, really got into her in the 1980's

 

[chicks]

Just picked up two more of Nancy Wilson's LPs yesterday, these ones from 1967. Not as good as her collaborations with George Shearing and Cannonball Adderley, which are considered among the very best Female Jazz Vocalist albums of all time, but Nancy's voice is always a pleasure to listen to, no matter the genre, and her stylings are always sophisticated and urbane.

 

[Danimal]

I'm really into Rickie Lee Jones lately -

[harman/kardon]

Yeah vinyldavid I forgot Annie Haslam...great great voice, precisely and crystal clear...

 

[Naptown Rob]

Kate Bush, nothing new from her for some time, really got into her in the 1980's

You need to check out the Florence & The Machine album "Lungs". There are some significant similarities.

 

[Cue Zephyr]

Yeah, uhm, I can't post an empty post. Just, check my avatar and my custom user title...

Besides her:

• Jewel - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArAlk3yf5hI
• Carrie Underwood - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXwPIrtpUx4&ob=av2n

Yeah, that's about it I guess...

 

[RSL'67]

Alison Mosshart - The Dead Weather / The Kills

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYWdRpM6Tp8

Nice.

 

[davidb1]

Aimee Mann, a very recent discovery for me. Intelligent songwriting and a great band too.

 

[Mystic]

Nico. Once and always.

 

[RSL'67]

Aimee Mann, a very recent discovery for me. Intelligent songwriting and a great band too.

Good call - I'd seen her a couple times in the 80's with Til Tuesday. :thmbsp:

 

[Mystic]

Following Nico, the fabulous Linda Thompson.

 

[OvenMaster]

Another vote for Aimee Mann, as well as Sarah McLachlan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFXi1EiwbDQ
