What about favourite female singer songwriter? Canadian or other!!!

[Jesse Joe]

Jean Fowles, LOL, La mere est le coeur du foyer. Pretty good John. The mother is the heart of the home.

There is only {foyer} really, that you did not get...Jesse.

Mark B+ :D

[Jennifer]

Kate Bush and Natalie Merchant to name a couple. And I've always loved the exquisite haunting vocals and mystical Celtic lyrics of the one and only Loreena McKennitt. A voice like an angel.

[Doug]

Patty Loveless
Allison Krause

I hope to soon start digitising a few old vinyl albums the first batch will undoubtedly include some of my favourite
lady vocalists including Mart Webb (whose solo album "Tell Me On A Sunday" is quite simply rivetting plus Stevie Nicks and
Juice Newton as I mentioned before. I was just a'googling for artwork pix of Marti's album and was surprised to see that
one result was http://www.corfid.com.
Ho Ho that's strange I thought so I investigated and found this referred to a posting by myself of all people to this
great topic which I then reread and thought,yes...

• the newer members might like to add their thoughts
• I had missed out a few ladies anyway

I fact watching a nice documentary on Peggy Lee on PBS during the week I remembered another fine vinyl album to digitise
her 1959 performance at a Miami disc jockey convention with the UK born blind jazz pianist George Shearing (George's album covers invariably featured a beautiful woman; he once said he knew they were beautiful "and I only read Braille!!)
According to a useful dead or alive site at
http://www.deadoraliveinfo.com/dead....hearing+George
George is still with us aged 87
Now where was I? Oh yes the Lee/Shearing album

great song here

Peggy on the Johnny Cash show
2 rereading this topic I noted that Jennifer was extolling the virtues of Celtic music, which took me back to a visit to a local UK convenience store many years ago where I heard for the first time the most wonderfully ethereal music and upon enquiry discovered Enya Eithne Patricia Ní Bhraonáin

Enya's exquisite version of Marble Halls.

Sylvia Tyson
Linda Ronstadt
Stevie Nicks when she knocks off that "Witchie" bit.

There is an interesting (to me anyway) write up on that great Chips Taylor song at:-

itself an interesting site covering as I found by searching for Lightfoot
Carefree Highway
If You Could Read My Mind
"Not nearly enough props are being given here. Anyone who ever sat down with a guitar and a pen and paper would make a deal
with the devil to come away with this masterpiece.
- Gordie, Philadelphia, PA"
and
"Don't know if this is right, but it seems to make sense to me. Only Gord knows the true meaning of this song, but in my
opinion, it seems to be about heartbreak and trying to move on. Hope this helps"
