We were going to get to see Rickie Lee this spring prior to #19 at Axpona. Man, I was looking forward to that. Yes, her kicking up the dynamics from a soft note right through to very loud and the same thing on being able to cruise through over an octave of notes to go really high is too cool. I now have about 8 albums BUT...I still listen to the first album over half the time I hear her music. That album has to be in the top 3 of woman singers for musical content, great songs, and of course, her unusual voice that sounds like no other. Bob

I gotta admit though, Annie Lennox’s vocals on "Would I Lie To You" is about as good as can be expected of a white UK woman ;-) . I love the song; even Blondie drummer Clem Burke (not a favorite of mine) sounds good on it. Great use of brass (horns), too. One real fine white female Blues singer is Lou Ann Barton. Her debut album was produced by the great Jerry Wexler (and Glen Frey!?), Aretha’s Atlantic Records producer. Lou Ann sometimes tours with Jimmy Vaughan. She’s the real deal. Dan Hicks had two female singers in his Hot Licks band, one being the wonderful Maryann Price. Her vocal on the Johnny Mercer classic "I’m An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande)" is one of my all-time favorites. It’s found on Dan’s Striking It Rich album, produced by Tommy Lipuma. Fantastic album!

Certainly a great voice. Clear as any there's been. Just not sure about the material. I wish she'd have cut loose from the crusading a little bit and treated us to a greater variety of material. Of course everyone loves Diamonds and Rust, and I guess they always will.
