Thank you for your thoughts and for the tip on the music. I agree, Lissie is astounding. I'm not familiar with M.I.A. but I will certainly check her out. It's just great to get tips on current music. :D I've been listening to a lot of oddball stuff lately. When you mentioned Lissie, it brought to mind Marianne Faithful. There's some crazy similarity for me in parts of their delivery. I had never listened to Marianne Faithful back in the day but rather, knew her as Mick Jagger's longtime partner. I was prompted to check her out when I read somewhere that she actually wrote (but was not credited for having written) Sister Morphine. I was impressed by that fact and decided to listen to some of her music. Frankly, I was stunned. I checked out her version of Sister Morphine which is amazing, and found other tracks that I loved (I'm on Fire, etc.). Lissie just reminds me of her in some ways. Very talented for certain. As for Patti Smith, I'm not sure that Joni has made mention of her. She's astounding of course so there must be mutual respect there. Thanks again for the good info!

(Her first was outstanding this one is good). Cat Empire's "Steal the Light" is by far the best album of 2013, a male group from Australia. > There is great new music being created by musicians that are talented beyond belief and true to themselves.

If you love Joni's music (not just enamored with Blue and pre Don Juan's Reckless Daughter > part of the catalogue) you have an intellect and ear that should live in the present as well as the past 500 years of multiple genres.

Listening to new music is like panning for gold hard work for a few flecks worth keeping. but when you listen to an artist like M.I.A for the first time > you understand why you put in the effort. > > Question because I don't know the answer.
