Aimee Mann - Lost in Space and Mental Illness. Vinyl of these releases is very good.
Most underrated female recording artists..
I'm always looking for female singers who make my 2 channel system seem worthwhile for all l have spent...the list includes Nora Jones, Diana Krall , Sade and many others.... there are some fabulous singers out there but not recorded very well...lm adding Bonnie Raitt to my top list..The Bonnie Raitt collection red book cd...tracks 16 and 17 are spectacular on my system... I'f anyone could add a suggestion it would be appreciated..

@wolfie62 has noted: LINDA RONSTADT She has more range and has SUCCESSFULLY recorded more styles of music than most of these fine ladies put together. The fact that she sold more copies than most of them (the modern ones have a larger audience and streaming, etc.) isn’t really germane. She can actually SING. You should also read her first book, "Simple Dreams" where she writes that she can LISTEN to most any (beginning) singer and identify the singer(s) they are copying. THAT, friends, is talent in my estimation. (The album of the same name ain’t bad either, FYI.) Finally, her version of a superb Smokey Robinson song (Ooo, Baby, Baby) is my favorite, and I would NEVER denigrate Smokey, who is one of a kind as well. Also, hard to beat Joan Baez singing "Diamonds and Rust" on a good pair of Maggies with quality ARC gear driving them. Cheers! |
