As pleasing to the ear as she is to the eye, this 20 year old from Riverview, New Brunswick, Canada is making quite a name for herself in the Folk/Traditional scene in Canada, and has even had some music cross over into mainstream FM airtime. Very accomplished sweet singing style of violin, writes alot of her own material, and has already quite a list of accomplishments.

Whoa, Jamie, if she really is as pleasing to the ear as she is to the eye, then I've GOT to check her out

I'm listening to:

A particularly beautiful reocrding of Monteverdi's music. Stunning.

Sample:

Back to Black on YouTube

Another one that is as pleasing to the eye as she is to the ear

Joni Mitchell "Blue". Brings me back to the first dates with S.O.

Her voice, her style, her piano, her depth and passion, I love Nina Simone. You can hear some of this here: Nina Simone For Lovers

Eld by Enslaved:



A heavy (black?) metal band (I think from Norway) One of my collegues gave me this CD. He told me I would love the first 4 minutes of the first song as that is orchestral (I leant him a CD with Prokofiev's second piano concerto as he says he likes bombastic music). He warned me for the rest. I really did enjoy the first 4 minutes of the first song. I kept listening for two more songs. I'm going to be unable to sleep for three weeks now

The Maybelles. Saw them in the subway one day and bought their CD. Very nice.
