Duck Egg Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 Nothing compares to you was the only one of hers I could immediately remember. I knew she'd done other stuff but atill surprised how many albums shes done. I'll have to give some of her other stuff a listen this week. Presumably she topped herself? Poor lass. Quote

Aye, but still a memorable voice at a key time for me. Don't know much about her, but from reports she clearly was prolific in recording (up to 2014 apparently) and composing. Quote

And got cut adrift by the industry for it. Two weeks after she ripped up a picture of the pope she got boo-ed at all places 'Bobfest' a Bob Dylan tribute concert, and went onto to do a version of War by Bob Marley. Quote

Shocking that so many in a Bob Dylan concert would be so conservative. Mind you, her screeching at the end hardly encourages me to check out her other stuff! Quote

But also had no idea no one had heard of him. Interesting how locked off culturally a country can be due to politics. I got into him through I Am Kloot as they loved his album which is great. Quote
