I have been listening an awful lot to Amanda Shires, Carrying Lightening. Don't know if her's is a great voice, but it is a lovely record. The album's gem, perhaps, is "Detroit or Buffalo," a cover of Barbara Keith, who is also very worth checking out.
Great female voices
I've always been fascinated by wonderful female voices (who isn't?) and have come across a couple recently that I want to share.
Rhiannon Giddens' solo album "Tomorrow is My Turn", produced by T-Bone Burnett, is an extraordinary recording of one of the great voices I've heard in many years, with a vocal and stylistic range that I've seldom heard from any other singer, ever.
And the Portuguese Fado singer Ana Moura has an amazingly beguiling voice. Try her album "Desfado" which has a version of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" that rivals the original.
