The original Nylons. The early vinyl releases are very good...I never heard them live but friends of mine have. The current lineup is not as good IMO....but their early stuff....pretty awesome.The Persuasions....ummmm, I'm going to have to check them out....happy listening
the unaccompanied voice
i’m partial to a cappella singing in a several genre. i’m hoping i’m not alone in this and, thus, seek recommendations of such performances from my compatriots on the ‘gon. let me begin with a listing of a few recordings that are among my favorites:
• fairfield four; almost anything, but particularly “standing in the safety zone” and “I couldn’t hear nobody pray.”
• the persuasions; “frankly a cappella” (a tribute to zappa) and “might as well” (a tribute to GD)
• the bobs; “...cover the songs of”
• “the unaccompanied voice” (secretly canadian cd)
• the roches; “the roches”
• chanticleer; “colors of love”
• anonymous 4; “11,000 virgins” (hidegard von bingen), also , not quite a cappella but beautiful “voices of light” (richard einhorn)
please share some of yours.
