I've seen Rhiannon's name around, but have yet to hear her. Everything T-Bone is involved with is high quality, so no surprise there. Thanks For the tip! There is a great female in T-Bone's crowd (Americana), the wife and musical partner of Buddy Miller, Emmylou Harris' guitarist/bandleader, Julie Miller, also well worth giving a listen to. Her voice is a little quirky/mannered, so not for everyone, but she's a great songwriter as well.
Great female voices
I've always been fascinated by wonderful female voices (who isn't?) and have come across a couple recently that I want to share.
Rhiannon Giddens' solo album "Tomorrow is My Turn", produced by T-Bone Burnett, is an extraordinary recording of one of the great voices I've heard in many years, with a vocal and stylistic range that I've seldom heard from any other singer, ever.
And the Portuguese Fado singer Ana Moura has an amazingly beguiling voice. Try her album "Desfado" which has a version of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" that rivals the original.
