A topic I never really see discussed here. Women singin' blues, jazz and folk. Any favorites?

Here's a great clip.

Natalie Merchant - Build A Levee

Pat's the bomb. Lost track of her, just have her rock stuff. Her voice is perfect for this.

A real torch singer.

I'm gonna cheat here. This isn't jazz, blues or folk but Benatar's so cool in this vid I have to post it.

Turn up the volume, turn down the lights, and grab someone to hold onto! :wink:

Beth Hart and Neal Schon from the Les Paul and Friends Tribute album. Neal told me once that he'd like to do a whole album with her. of course I jumped alllllll over that and said, "like PIRANHA BLUES 2???" he just flips off this remark--"yeah, something like that" DANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9QL2UkTcD8

Joss Stone---she's on this album too with Sting but she is better here. (i heard that Sting phoned his part in. :shock:

) I saw her at the Austin City Limits music festival last year and she is the real deal.

and there is no other than Janis Joplin (of the University of Texas--thank you)
