For those who appreciate great female vocalists

[bluue13]

She's not quite new but her fame I think is fairly new.

Anyway, check her out- I can't get enough, her sound is just beautiful.

Adele

 

[beyond the band]

I have been listening to her for quite sometime. Like Amy Winehouse less the train wreck

Check Kate Nash

 

[bluue13]

Man, something about those quirky British chicks!

Good stuff! Up there in the ranks of Regina Spektor.

Adele

Agreed. I've been listening to her last album for the past few weeks.

 

[Devil Doc]

I got to live with my wife bitching about me. I'll be damned if I listen to music with women bitching' about other men. Now this is a female vocalist.

Doc.

 

[MoeCizlak]

The conversation begins and ends with Janis.

 

[Rodrigo de Jerez]

I just caught onto these guys after they one a Grammy. Rhiannon Giddens can belt it out.

Let's not forget about Lauryn Hill, Etta James, or Ella Fitzgerald.

Being an older fellow, I still love some of the singers from my youth, and consider them to be amongst the greatest:

Judy Garland
Barbara Striesand
Julie Bud
Doris Day

More modern Vocalists who I enjoy tremendously, with the right material:

Celine Dion (great voice, mostly lousy songs and interpretations)
Joan Osborne (this girl has some serious chops, imho)
Amy Lee
And of course, Janis.

 

[Not A Nice Person]

Janis, Etta, Bonnie.

Maria Muldaur, definitely. Down here in Texas Marcia Ball, back in the PNW, Duffy Bishop.

For the less bluesy stuff, I will admit to a great fondness for the thinking man's babe, Natalie Merchant. :blush:

Did you just call Janis 'modern'? Dan, I hate to break it to you but Janis Joplin has been dead for nearly 41 years!

Gotta give some credit to: Kate Bush, PJ Harvey, Bjork, Joan Armatrading, Dido.

 

[MadMonk]

PJ Harvey is actually pretty well respected in the audiophile community.

Janis isnt necessarily mdern if your age. At my age, yes. :laugh:

 

[MoeCizlak]

Stu? Meet Dan. He's still not quite used to the off-key caterwauling of the Beatles on the old Sullivan Show.

 

[Devil Doc]

Doris Day?You're letting your crank think for your ears. How I remember those fantasies, along with Haley Mills and Annette Funicello. :0

Doc.

Well, you may be on to something there, Doc, cause as soon as I read this, I remembered having a crush on her when I was a grasshopper.

Oh yes, Annette was a hottie too!
