Best female vocals on CD

Tracie de Jong from New Zealand

She's way better than most I have heard raved about.
She has 3 CD's.
"Turning In" is my favourite.

Just purchased this CD on a whim after having heard just short samples on Amazon. Manu Katche's Neighborhood w/ Tomaz Stanko & Jan Garbarek. Simply amazing music. So moody, so intricate, never a boring moment ...At the end of the day, it makes me realize all the effort and good results from working on one's sytem to improve sound quality, pales in comparison to the sheer joy of musical discovery. May it always be.

Definately, Robinella "solstace for the lonely" What a voice.

There is a 17 years old, Amber Collins, who is lead singer for a local bluegrass band, No Speed Limit. They are new, with only two CDs thus far. But, I must tell, Amber's singing ability is increadible!!

The Band is loaded with talent, 2001 Merlefest National Guitar winner, playing the inauguration of the VA governor 2006, and placing 3rd in the Nashville International Band Competition.

She is not in the big time yet. But I wanted to toss the name out for any of you fellow Audiogoners whom may enjoy modern bluegrass. I frequent the local music venues (Blue Ridge Mountains of VA) and have seen this band 3 times now - very impressive pickin & singing.

Here's a swing, Kathleen Battle or Bjork. (I LOVE her voice)
