.....having recently posted on the incredible voice of Emma Pollock (ex-Delgados), I started thinking about other incredible female vocalists... At the top of the list, along with Ms. Pollock, I would put Kate Bush, Neko Case, Nina Nastasia and Keren Ann... ..There are, of course, many, many more out there... including a bunch of new bands that I've recently gotten into... (MiniPop, Built Like The Sea, etc...)...but, for now, I'll focus on Keren Ann... ..A product of France, who now lives in New York, Keren Ann's voice runs the gamut... from whispery soft lines sung in her native tongue to confidently taking up the Nashville Waltz... she even plays a mean harmonica and guitar... (plus, she's a real sweetheart, standing next to me after her show at The Great American Music Hall, helping sales by signing posters...) ..Feel free to list your favorite female vocalists (the more obscure, the better...)... and while you do that, check out a fantastic tune from Keren Ann's latest... "LAY YOUR HEAD DOWN".....
