Recognize her?

[Audiokarma]

I just heard her this weekend for my first time....only one song....and was blown away.

I don't place faces to most of the newer female singers, but this one always works for me...

[Audiokarma]

You may not recognize her from this photo.

Until someone get's it, I'll offer progressively more informative clues. First clue: First CD, 1994.

More possible clues to come: where raised, genre, other talents, label, who married to...etc

[pmakres1]

I give up. Who is she? :D

[Ken Pachkowsky]

Was she born in Nanaimo,BC Canada?

[Ken Pachkowsky]

Is she married to a Brit?

[Audiokarma]

She was born in the US but raised in Scotland where she attended a prestigious performing arts academy. She moved back to the US as an adult where she began a stage career and later signed with a prestigious audiophile label where she recorded 3 cds. A compiliation was later released by same label. She recently released her first cd in about 8 years with another label. The reason for her break from music was her pursuit of an acting career after she married a well known and respected film writer/director. She has appeared in several of his films. I realized after the fact that I had seen one her films and plan to rent it again. Based on only the one song I've heard and numerous positive reviews I've read, I've just order her first CD and also her Retrospective on Hybrid SACD.

[Audiokarma]

she appeared along with a popular academy award winning actor in a 2001 supsense caper thriller that was directed by her husband.

[JBLnsince1959]

was she in Hee-Haw in the corn field with teeth missing or was that someone else? :D

Hell if I know who that is...

[Audiokarma]

not hee haw! too young :D

in the same movie as mentioned above appears another well known and popular character actor who is very short, bald, wise-cracking, and with an Italian name.

[Titanium Dome]

Madonna!

[johnaec]

Did she just win American Idol?

[Ken Pachkowsky]

Catherine Zeta Jones?

[Ken Pachkowsky]

Diane Lane

[pmakres1]

My vote goes to Ken. (Catherine Zeta Jones)

[Ken Pachkowsky]

Patti LuPone

[Audiokarma]

Ok, I don't blame you if you've never heard of her. I hadn't either, but as I say, I do recognize her after the fact from a couple of movies.

Now you guys are disappointing me here. I've given you a bunch of killer clues. First of all, I just checked CDNow Amazon.com and Catherine Zeta Jones doesn't have any solo releases. Otherwise, not bad guess although Michael Douglass is known more as an actor. This lady is married to a writer director. He is known for supsense thrillers with sharp witty dialogue.

And Madonna's first stuff is from early 80's!!

Now, what's a well known audiophile label? They have their own website. As I say, you might not recognize her from this photo as she wears her hair differently now.

[Ken Pachkowsky]

I hate getting slapped!

Patricia Barber

I HOPE?

[Stonehenge Man]

Sorry, but I don't pay much attention to movies and Broadway. Pay $3.00 for rent, watch 15 minutes, rewind the next day...got to be spendy.Last movie at movie theatre: Titanic.

The only song I heard was off a Chesky sampler test cd. It was her rendition of "Spanish Harlem". This is supposed to be her signature song. I know, sounds kind of weird, but her voice is just amazing. It is from her debut, The Raven. Here are some reviews:

Hey, good news is that my local record store will order me the SACD for less than what I can pay online plus shipping!

[Stonehenge Man]

I'll play "Mach 5" by the Presidents of the United States for you, if that helps:D

Be sure to post some pics of it when it arrives! :D

[Alex Lancaster]

:) You just won a brand new 20 year old Yugo, unused, with all the rubber gone.

[Audiokarma]

Well, hopefully I haven't made the age old mistake of coming to regret buying a CD after only hearing one song. Of course, the Chesky recording was superb. And, I forgot to mention, it was while auditioning some 250Ti's. (more on that elsewhere...later) Has anyone else heard her?

BTW, Ken....do you have any Patricia Barber? I've only heard a couple of songs off digital cable. I liked what I heard.

[speakerdave]

You've got to hear her version of "Santa Claus is Coming . . . . to Town."

OK, I remember what I've heard of Barber's. From Verse, "I could eat your words"

I think I can get your drift. ;)

[speakerdave]

Yep! Sounds like the same girl.
