I've really enjoyed the threads started by Eric ( AKA Thelonious Funk ) regarding the music that we're all currently listening to. After all, the music is what it's all about . Isn't it? 8O So Thanks Eric, I always find myself jotting down a few notes for consideration of future purchases.
Lately, I seem to be listening to the ladies more and more. There just seems to be a lot of great new music being produced by the better side.
Along these lines I'd like to known who your favorite female musicians are?
Some of the GIRLS I've purchased this year:
Cafe Blue, Patricia Barber
Companion , Patricia Barber
World Without Tears, Lucinda Williams
My favorite Lucinda Williams CD is still her first, I forget the name, and it seems to be missing. I think my girl friend filched it.
Lost in Space, Aimee Mann
Regrooving the Dream, Patty Larkin
Red Luck, Patty Larkin
In the Cool, Pieta Brown
Careless Love, Madeleine Peyroux
Susie Suh, Susie Suh
Thunderbird, Cassandra Wilson
Traveling Miles, Cassandra Wilson
Both Sides Now Joni Mitchell
A great CD with Mitchell singing some of her music along with traditional cuts like " Your My Thrill " and "Stomy Weather" with full orchestration. Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Mark Isham and others lend a hand.
Surprise of the Year:
Possibilities, Herbie Hancock
Yes I know that Herbie Hancock is male. This is a collaboration CD w/ Hancock playing with John Mayer, Santana, Joss Stone, Sting and others. My favorite cut is Hancock and Christina Aguilera doing Leon Russell's
"A Song For You". I get goose bums whenever I listen to it. This young lady has a voice that just floors me. If she would walk away from her teeny bopper, boy toy,pop genra and move into the Jazz relm I'd be waiting in line for the release.
Have fun and thanks again Thelonious
