Hi Gordon

It's Kasey Chambers "Barricades and Brick Walls" It's a great album and you will like it. She is from Australia, I have 3 cds of hers and all are very good.

You should listen to Blue and Court of Spark Jeff they are outstanding albums.

I agre with Ewemon, good though Shine is it is not Joni's finest hour.

Thanks, folks. I have owned several versions of Blue (ie: vinyl,cd) over the years but gave it only occasional spins. Not sure I have heard Court & Spark so I will soon.

I like the new one, the last two tracks in particular stood out on my first listen. At the very least a couple additions to a compilation disc in the future.

Jeff A

An album of timeless and enigmatic beauty, of which I never tire.

John.

My favourite JT album.
Timeless!

Gordon believe me you will not be dissapointed, it's a great disc. The next one to buy is "Wayward Angel" and "The Captain".

I believe she has been in the UK recently and have missed the chance to see her but hopefully next time. It's rare she visit's the UK.

Gordon if you like acoustic blues check this guy out, he is one of the best.

And of course the best folk artist in the UK and from YORKSHIRE, Kate Rusby.

jim...........

Grey de Lisle -- Iron Flowers

Krista Detor -- Mudshow

Sophie Zelmani -- 1995-2005 A Decade of Dreams

I see from the posts here that a number like female folk artists. I would recommend people try Krista Detor. She plays the piano, has a lovely voice and sings her own compositions which are excellent -- great melodies. Her latest album, Cover Their Eyes, is also superb.

Another artist that is not mentioned is Grey De Lisle. She's not exactly folk. Her albums include alt-country, rock and Americana roots music. Worth a try too.

On Little Lights, which I have on loan from the local library, I was initiailly surprised to hear the Celtic influences, but checked a bit of Yorkshire history and it makes perfect sense.

Her voice is quite similar to Mindy Smith, to my ear, through my system.

thanks for making me aware of her, Jim

No argument from me on that score - thoroughly recommend the Live From Leeds DVD.

Still sounds great after all these years
