Joan Armatrading.....holy shit. Priceless performance. How can anyone be that good? And the band? Especially the bass player....been a long time since I heard a sound that deep....like pedals on a church organ. Pure sine wave.
Been a fan since the beginning and wondered what happened to her, the English semi Odetta. So now I know....she's been kickin butt somewhere.

Thanks, she is so amazing. I am really enjoying this foray into women's music. Please everybody feel free to make suggestions. Hudgins sent Janiva Magness a while back and Stutz mentioned Joanna Newsom, I need to check them out. My favorite Kate Wolf song Medicine Wheel has been taken off of Youtube by Warner Brothers. I have been leaning on old reliables. And I know I am a hopeless old fashioned romantic but I think Baez has the most emotional power for me of all the clips, if I have to pick one of the group. I will try to find some more strong women voices before I move on to another thing.
