On the Striking It Rich album by Dan Hicks And His Hot Licks (produced by Tommy LiPuma---nominated for 33 Grammys, 5 of which he won, engineered by Bruce Botnick---best known for the Doors albums---at Sunset Sound in L.A.), Maryann price sings the classic "I’m An Old Cowhand" with a remarkably relaxed (and delicious lasciviousness that would make your grandma blush ;-) feel (like she’s had a few, and maybe a reefer), backed by a deeply-swinging small Jazz combo (upright bass, Gibson L-5 archtop guitar, snare drum played with brushes, fiddle). As a welcome bonus, excellent recorded sound quality, demo material.
Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...
Most of my listeing is female vocals and classic Jazz. I have enjoyed current and older female singers. I have most of Billie Holiday through current Diana Krall and Julia Fordham. I enjoy good voices mainly acoustic. It would be helpful if it is music I can sample online. If the backing is mainly loud elctronic I would likely pass. Thanks for your thoughts and experience.

For starters, I would suggest:
Either the original CD or the 2016 remastered version. |
@917nut YES on Dusty... was my mom's absolute favorite. Has no one mentioned Adele? - voice of the decade. Lauryn Hill, amazing! Amy Lee of Evanescence, C'mon. May not be the OPs cup of tea but geez. Barbara Streisand, Blossom Dearie, Anne Bisson! So many... |
