What are you listening to?

Only if you also have The Open Door by Evanescence in there too.

No, but I do have Fallen.

 

What with the Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Sirenia, and Within Temptation CDs, ( not to mention Etta James and Kate Rusby ), my wife is forever moaning about my collection of "squawking women".

 

Mind you, today's driving entertainment was U2's Achtung Baby.

Hmmm, I may have to look up Sirenia, any pointers where to start?

 

My ex did complain that I only liked screaming women, takes one to know one!

 

May I also recommend Epica to you, bloody brilliant.

Muse - United States of Eurasia.

That's the only one not currently in my posession. As for Sirenia, I started with downloaded tracks from YouTube, etc, and burned my own CD of the best ones, but they have a habit of swapping their lead singers at regular intervals.

 

( Mind you, there's the whole other side of me - Maiden, Metallica, Led Zepp, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Staind, The Clash )

Minnnie Riperton - 'Adventures in Paradise'.

 

Minnie Riperton - 'Perfect Angel.'

 

Oh, yes.

 

She sang in Stevie Wonder's backing band Wonderlove in the '70s. Stevie produced Perfect Angel. Riperton was celebrated for her five-octave vocal range - she could hit notes that only dogs could hear!

Love is Strange by Jackson Browne and David Lindley - a recently-released 2 CD album recorded live in March 2006, during a tour of Spain. The band includes half-a-dozen of Browne's Spanish musician-friends. Lindley is featured on a few of his own songs on the first disc, but it's pretty much all Jackson Browne material, featuring fresh arrangements and interpretations. A good bet for those who like these guys!

She had such an beautiful voice.

I've just got hold of 'Come to My Garden' which features the totally gorgeous 'Les Fleur' (which was covered by 4Hero).

 

Before her successful solo career she was in an experimental psychedelic soul band called 'Rotary Connection'.

The band was the brainchild of Marshall Chess (who's father Leonard founded Chess Records) and they released their self-titled debut album in 1967.

Their albums are pretty rare and expensive (I've seen the debut album on CD go for £100!!) but there is a a pretty good 'best of' compilation called 'Black Gold' that is as cheap as chips and well worth picking up. (Just don't tell Manji).

 

8) It's here on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Gold-Very-Rotary-Connection/dp/B000E6ETDO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1276592974&sr=1-1

This really is an excellent double CD. Shame that there was no "For A Dancer" on it but hopefully they will do it at RAH on 29th!!

She's from Reading, close enough! Such an excellent album though, there's some really beautiful songs on there. Looking forward to seeing her next Saturday evening up at The Park stage at Glastonbury, one of the most serene and calm places onsite! Going to be brilliant :)

 

Really !!! A ****ing busker !!

 

He does come across as a busker I suppose, but he's immensely talented. Have you seen him live? If not, I suggest you get yourself a ticket to one of his gigs, he really is uh-may-zing live.

Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjT86g9gTKk and tell me that's not f*cking brilliant!
