Best female vocals on CD

If you have only one opera CD, get the new remastered Joan Sutherland "Art of the Prima Donna" a career anthology with absolutely astonishing vocal range........it is hard to imagine any modern singer equal this definitve collection! Joni Mitchell "Court and Spark" new HDCD remaster leaves "Blue" in its shadow sonically......although I am not a Joni fan.......I just sampled clips from Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Session" think I will make a new purchase, very nice.....

Here are a few that you are sure to enjoy. Musical quality ranges, but the entire CDs are fantastic: Natalie Merhcant - Tiger Lilly Once Blue - Once Blue Kelly Willis - What I Deserve Carole King - Tapestry Sarah McLachlan - Surfacing Annie Lennox - Diva Rickie Lee Jones - Ricki Lee Jones Fionna Apple - Tidal Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road Stevei Nicks - Anything from Fleetwood Mac (i.e. Fleetwood Mac, Rumors) Hole - Live Through This (for those looking for the edge)

Natalie Merhcant - Tiger Lilly; Once Blue - Once Blue; Kelly Willis - What I Deserve; Carole King - Tapestry; Sarah McLachlan - Surfacing; Annie Lennox - Diva; Rickie Lee Jones - Ricki Lee Jones; Fionna Apple - Tidal; Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road; Steveie Nicks - Anything from Fleetwood Mac (i.e. Fleetwood Mac, Rumors; Hole - Live Through This (for those looking for the edge)

Cassandra Wilson has one of the best voices in jazz. Patricia Barber is incredible too. Heather Nova is a little known hottie with an amazing voice. Provacative lyrics too! Suze diMarche of Baby Animals (defunct band, but you can still get the CDs)--straight ahead rock! She's up there with the all-time best female rock 'n' roll singer: Chrisie Hynde of the Pretenders!

Eva Cassidy bowls over everybody I play her for.Also K.D. Lang Especially when she was working with Ben Mink is fabulous.
