Generally, I think her best asset is those fantastic legs, but on this cut, I think Grace Potter is just killer - she's totally on fire. And I love the song too.

Might not be a popular addition to this thread, and I'll admit I haven't gotten in to all of her stuff, but I saw this the night it premiered on Saturday Night Live and almost fell out of my chair.

Not for every day listening - Kate Bush. She could stretch that voice like a rubber band. Lately she's been re cutting some of her early work with her "mature" voice, still good but less startling in reaching for hi pitches.

Similarly, Bjork. Stretches that thing like Turkish Taffy. Not for daily use.

Easier on the ears, NY's own Suzanne Vega. Still, some scathing moments. Somebody gave me a copy of Nine Objects of Desire and I was hooked. Suzanne's also made a project of re cutting her early material.

Heather Massey seems to be all over the place these days. My ears say "good!" Especially with the Wailin' Jennys.

Aimee Mann - I like her clear & even-toned delivery. The drama is in the lyrics. I've never heard her screech or crack. Excellent songwriter.

Gotta put a good word in for Natalie Merchant. Put out a great double CD of "kids songs" a couple years ago - lots of fun & some songs I haven't heard for over 50 years. I did some repairs for her years ago, and she even sent a thank you card. Class act!

Joni Mitchell - genius songwriter & delivery to match.

Laura Nyro - got to put up PA for one of her very last shows. Absolutely heartbreaking to know she would soon be gone. She came to stage & belted out her hits like nobody's business, playing electric piano. Another genie songwriter.

Kirsty MacColl - great voice & some great songs. "In These Shoes" if you need a good laugh. Too soon gone.

Grace Slick - sang it with guts, fit what the band JA was doing. Not always pretty, but pretty strong.

Linda Ronstadt - a lot to choose from. I like to pick out her voice as background on lots & lots of albums made in the southern California hitmaking streak. Zevon & Lindley for instance.

enough for now!

Phrasing and tone.

Ah, I was hooked from the first album. Great song writer also. She crushed the lily in my soul.

Always love Loretta Lynn. She's still got it:

Another one I tend to forget, but I thinks deserves some mention, Chrissie Hynde.

Here she is with Jeff Beck:

And one of the few covers of Hendrix that doesn't piss me of:

Thanks for mentioning - love especially the early Pretenders, you bet.

Met her and the original band back in the day before they played the Agora Ballroom in Atlanta. Amazing show. No rock star attitude, they didn't need it. You wouldn't have missed any of them in a crowd.

I also love classical Indian Female vocalists. Such control of semitones.
