Female Artists

[richardp69]

I posted recently how much I love listening to Eva Cassidy CD's. I've gone on a buying spree and likely have bought every CD she's made (I think)

Now, I'm listening a lot to Norah Jones and Diana Krall. I love their material as well. There's just something sweet and comforting about a nice female voice.

 

[Brad Little]

And with Diana Krall, often some nice guitar work from Anthony WIlson.

 

[dougdnh]

Love all of these. Also check out Stacey Kent, her husband does some nice acoustic guitar work.

 

[Rambozo96]

Been listening to Carolyn Hester. I believe she was a Guild endorsee at one point as well!

 

[Brucebubs]

You can include Alison Krauss in here too. Great album with Robert Plant.

 

[GAD]

I freaking LOVE Norah Jones. I use her stuff to test my headphones and headphone amps.

 

[highwayman]

Check out Antje Duvekot. Great singer/songwriter from the Boston Erde.

Man, I almost forgot Toni Price, a Texas girl that's got it all goin' on and yes, Mazzy Star is superb.

 

[zulu]

Rachael Price, Lake Street Dive

 

[GGJaguar]

Kate Bush, Pat Benatar, Karen Carpenter, Julie London. That covers a lot of "old school" ground.

Also love Rachel Price & Norah Jones.

Veer alert . . . possibly the funniest thing that I've ever heard Jimmy Fallon say (a long time ago):

"Norah Jones celebrated her 25th birthday today - her fans turned 50".

One more Rachel Price / Lake Street Dive clip, just because:

Call me crazy, but I think Karen Carpenter had one of the purest, cleearest voices ever.

Well, of course you're crazy but I happen to agree with you.

Saw AKUS at the Fox in Detroit...song gives me goosebumps.

 

[mavuser]

one night i was at a show, and Norah Jones was in the audience, standing right next to me. The band started playing a song that sounded eerily familiar. I turned around and said "this is one of your songs, right?" and she smiled and said "it's not my song but I sing it with the Little Willies." I said "ahh that's it!" and turned my attention back to the stage. it was this cool moment that we shared. Then, I could never have expected what was about to happen next. Norah started singing the lyrics, along with the band...quietly, into my ear. my head almost exploded as I tried not to smile, and/or cry at the same time. the song was "Pennies on the Floor." she "sang me" the entire song. a night I will never forget!

In a completely unrelated encounter, I discovered the band Lake Street Dive when I literally walked into a bar to take a piss. and they were on fire!! that was about 10 years ago. u just never know!

Wow, you really kept your cool. I would have proposed to her within two minutes.

One of my fav singers is Victoria Legrand of the duo Beach House. Not many female pop/r&r vocalists working in the contralto range. Here's Lazuli from their fourth album, Bloom…it's well representative of what Beach House typically sounds like, and the video is suitably weird too. (The bartender in the video is Victoria, BTW.)
