Chicks With Guitars

Jdoris....Kind thanks for the terminology correction. I knew there was a simple explanation in there somewhere!

I need to explore Eva Cassidy's stuff, thanks for that. There is something about Wayfaring Stranger that really brings the soul out of some artists. One of my all time loved songs, that being one of the reasons. This would make another interesting thread but just for kicks, here are a few of my preferred versions:

Blanche from If We Can't Trust the Doctors

Giant Sand from Mojo Mag's Cash Covered Johnny Cash Tribute

and my all time favorite:

David Eugene Edwards from Jim White's music from Searching For The Wrong-Eyed Jesus or 16 Horsepower from Secret South...take your pick...(thanks Marco).

Oh my...how could I have forgotten Emmylou's Wayfaring Stranger from Roses In The Snow.

Honorable mention to Neko Case.

Richard,

Thanks for the heads up on Woven Hand and the recent 16 HP titles. (I just ordered "Secret South" and "Consider The Birds".) I really liked 16 HP back in the day, but lost track after the first 3 albums. I didn't know that they'd released newer material and spun-off another band. I've always felt that 16 HP was sadly overlooked and that their drummer, Jean Yves Tola, was among the most distinctive that I've ever heard.

Marty...I was very fortunate to have been introduced to David Eugene Edwards' music by Marco (Jax2) a while back and have really come to love everything he has done. So passionate, intense and skilled both in his playing/composition and writing. I agree with your statement that they were under appreciated and I also agree that Jean Yves Tola is an amazing drummer with unique style. I love both the records you ordered but my favorite Wovenhand would be the selftitled from 2002, I know Marco prefers Blush Music. I would also recommend the last 16HP album, Folklore which is a bit more subdued than the harder edged earlier stuff. Just great stuff.
