My current favorites are Eva Cassidy's "The water is wide" and "Autumn Leaves", Kiki Dee's "Take my breath away" and Ella Fitzgerald's "Angel eyes" and "Lush life".
I have a penchant for female singers Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Kate Bush, Alison Krauss, Amy Lee, Hayley Williams, Sara Watkins, Terri Nunn, Enya, Susanna Hoffs, Sarah Brightman and many others.
Jennifer Charles, The group: Elysian Fields The CD: Bleed Your Cedar This gal has a sultry, sexy, voice that haunts you in its own unique way. And surprise very well recorded. If your looking for a new adventure and female vocalist with a dark twist, this might be it. The bass on this recording has to be heard.
Nicole Atkins, in whose voice you can hear traces of Edith Piaf, Mama Cass Elliot, and Roy Orbison. Needless to say, those first two belong in this discussion, also. And don't overlook Marlene Dietrich, whose "Lili Marlene" is outstanding in English, even better in German.
