An artist I have enjoyed for many years, Julia Fordham

Thank you, which recordings of hers would you start with/recommend to someone (i.e., me) who is not at all familiar with her???

"Porcelain"

Very high recording quality/production values, overall. One of those albums used for demo at shows, every now and then.

Agree with Porcelain, but I have everything she has done, and like them all.  Different from most pop/Jazz singers. 

A minor warning, every person I have introduced to Julia Fordham that has bought a CD of hers....has ended up buying more or all of them.  That would include 3 male and 1 female friend.

In the businesses that I have owned and the great businesses I have loved in my life (especially restaurants) nothing is more powerful than word of mouth.  

A burger chain can spend tens of millions of dollars trying to sell you more of the same old s---....and most American will flock to them.  But as you know, the  best restaurant in your town does not have a drive-up window.
