Jennifer Warnes, Patricia Barber, Diane Krall, Norah Jones, Patricia Monheit, Shirley Horn (not all), Blossum Dearie (if you can find it),and Jacintha (buy any you can). There are others but it is a hit and miss situation. Outside of Jazz, Crystal Gayle (best of), Joan Baez (best of...ignore the political stuff), and Cowboy Junkies (depending on your definition of soothing...maybe you should listen first). There now...that should break you.
Recommended female vocalists?
Looking for female vocalists w/ ultra soothing voices - something that could relax me at the end of a hard day.
To give a bit of reference my favorites are:
Sarah McLaughlin - Surfacing: I Love You, Do What You Have To Do, Angel, Full of Grace. Fumbling Towards Ecstacy: Wait, Good Enough, Elsewhere, Ice, Hold On, Ice Cream, Fear.
Enya
Everything.
Tori Amos
Entire Little Earthquakes album. Some of her other music tends to get on my nerves a bit, though.
I'm sure I'm missing out on a ton of artists. Who else do I need to check out? If it's not too much trouble please give specific albums and songs.
Thanks in advance.
