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.

Trixie Whitley, (a sleeper),  watch her Tiny Desk Concert. Limited dynamic range but... how does that range/control come from such a petite frame??

Carly Simon, kind of forgotten now. What a vocal range!

The great Linda Ronstadt.
