What really got to me is not that she does so much, but that every single note (and its tone) she played or sang was indistinguishable from perfect for what the moment needed. Working the performance...

I don't believe in channeling, but this woman's level of artistry is so advanced it seems supernatural. This is a Tiny Desk Concert so the audio and video quality are not bad. Just select "HD" and...
PJ Harvey and Anna Calvi, while looking and sounding nothing alike, are in a class by themselves. So it would be no surprise that they might deserve more than one mention here. The cover image shows...
It occurs to me that several references I made in recent comments here were about music I featured not here but in my twin thread Music That Expands Our Horizons....
That makes you ahead of nearly the entire Baby Boomer generation (my generation), who still listen to Classic Rock endlessly. Don't feel the need to ban yourself; do you have a streaming service? Try...
No, Heather (hjames) is right. This thread managed to be about musicians who did/do what they do better than anyone else has. Until recently. Robert Pete Williams and Son House did this so much...
Your English is better than my French could ever be. Music of outstanding merit should be close to the best you have ever heard. I also encourage telling us about music we have probably not heard...
You're fine. What is derailing this thread is not what is being recommended, it is the thread being turned into a discussion group, which it was never intended to be. No one wants rules about what...
I appreciate the support, Jim. While it is nice to see the thread not being dominated by posts by myself, I do think it would be a positive development if the admiration/discussion of various...
I know, many of us proudly think we listen to all kinds of music. But I can tell from our boards that if someone tossed us a rope to pull us out of a musical rut, we should grab hold. At the other...
As always, thank you for considering my suggestion. Thank you for supporting this musician with your purchase. I hope you ended up enjoying it. Muireann is a famous artist in the Celtic music scene,...
As the title says...
With my limited funds, I always hope for a good return on my spending. This time I definitely backed the right horse. My (very) modest Kickstarter contribution To Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh’s new CD...
Mark O'Connor, Edgar Meyer and Yo-Yo Ma. What could go wrong? Nothing did. The mostly original music on this recording is an even bigger attraction than how brilliantly it is being played. Meyer and...
Not that there is any correlation between difficulty and artistic value, but the audio examples in this BBC feature sound very rewarding to my sensibilities. The piece that was written for a player...
I'll see you and raise you this. :) Brilliantly performed. He stuns an already appreciative Japanese audience with these encores.

It's on Rhapsody. In the past when confronted with price larceny like this I have waited it out. Eventually one comes up on Alibris or Amazon for something reasonable and I snipe it.
Rhapsody has...

This thread seems an unlikely place to put forth a compilation. This collection is worthy. The thirty-six tracks were selected from live...
If you want to to try only one of the Mescaleros CD, I recommend Global A Go-Go.
An update. All four CDs that make up this set are available. The three studio discs are available in the remastered versions heard on this download. They have, between them, the bonus tracks from the...
Until now, Hot Stuff had been my favorite Dennerlein CD of those I have heard. I am still working through them on Rhapsody and wherever I can audition a disc. Love Letters, from 2001, is my new...
I don't know how many on this side of the pond are familiar with Joe Strummer after The Clash. In that band he was the lyricist, lead singer and rhythm guitar player. After their breakup he didn't...
Jarrrods, you have highlighted a situation that Baby Boomers usually find themselves in. Like many previous aging generations, we (I'm sixty-seven) tend to become closed minded about music; nostalgia...
My favorite Bowie is actually a cover. He took the brilliantly mnimalist Pablo Picasso by the Modern Lovers and transformed it into a high energy statement of pure musical exuberant joy. Here it is...
Eva Cassidy is a worthy pick indeed. I can think of one current singer that rivals her in quality, while sounding completely different. Karan Casey is Irish and sings in both English and Irish. Last...
