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.

Just loaded "Tomorrow Is My Turn" into Tidal. I'll listen to it this evening. Thanks for the recommendation.
Abuck...That was AMAZING! Thanks for the link! I thought that Leann Rimes at 13 and Joss Stone at 15 were incredible.

This little girl at just 8, might have them both beat.
Just listened to The Hissing of Summer Lawns.
That's probably my favorite Joni Mitchell album.
@Ghost...I have everything that she ever did on vinyl.  Huge Joni fan here.

I really like "Wild Things Run Fast", there was an audiophile reissue and "Chalk Mark In A Rain Storm.  Also, "Night Ride Home" isn't too bad.
