What's your favorite Patricia Barber album?

The 2nd cut on Companion will not only rattle your walls but penetrate through your bone marrow! To listen to this track in its full glory a subwoofer is MANDATORY not an OPTION.

It's difficult to choose favorites, but Cafe Blue may be it for me. The Split album is similar in vein to Verse and equally enjoyable.

They are all good. I heaed Cafe Blue on 45rpm (comes in 3 records is phenominal).

Hard to decide which one is favorite but lately I've been listenning to mostly Verse, Moder Cool and Companion. Question is, after you have all of her CDs, what else do you listen to or recommend that is close in style and quality of musicians?
Any time I go to buy a CD I have a hard time choosing something I really like. Would be great to see what you all PB fans listen to.

When I 1st heard PB's latest "Live: A Fortnight in France" I did not think too much of it but this is the type of CD that grows on you as you play more of it. IMO, the performance on this CD matches all her other earlier releases. A favourite of PBs, to me all of her releases are.......

As an alternative to PB's style, try Stacey Kent. She does not sound at all like PB ("dark") & her presentation of songs are very much more upbeat & refreshing. Certainly one of my favourite jazz singers together with PB & others. BTW, Stacey's hubby Jim Tomlinson backs her up with his Sax playing & IMO blends into her vocals very nicely.
