Best CDs for vocals?

Hi, I would highly recommend the CD After hours by Jeanne Lee and Mal Waldron it is on the sunnyside owl label from 1994. I also agree on the Patricia Barber recordings especially the latest A Fortnight in France, Jim Anderson is a great recording engineer. Also agree with Hooper on the Johnny Cash American recordings. The man comes around is really good.

Bebo & Cigala CD "Lagrimas Negras" black tears....

Ordered the Sara Gazarek as recommended by Mijknarf. It does have a nice clean sound quality. Nice voice, I'll need to hear it a few times before recommending it but firdt impression is good.

Jane Monheit's CD, Come Dream With Me
First Cut, "Over The Rainbow".
Finest female vocal cut I have ever found. She is in the room with you.

If I want to hear vocals I sit down and retrieve following albums from my collection because of how superbly they were recorded to bring out the vocals right upfront!

Tracy Chapman (first album no title)
Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue
Eleanor McEvoy - Yola
Ella and Louis - Porgy and Bess
Suzanne Vega - Solitue Standing
Diana Krall - Live in Paris
Natalie Cole - Unforgetable

There are many but you can consider the above if you like.
