She covered Patty's song "Moses", and that's how I fell in love with Patty. Melissa is a very gritty, down to earth musician, just her and a guitar and her drummer. She is awesome live; I've seen her twice now, going on 3 times. She's returning to Tampa next month. Hannah "You cannot change a world that doesn't want to change.

I found one of her cds for a buck a few months ago, and I've been searching like crazy now for her other cds (I have 2 out of 4). She's become my new favorite artist and I've yet to tire of her music...check her out! - -Lisa ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2002 10:50:36 -0500 From: Greg Smith Subject: Re: MM:NPC:A MUSICAL RECOMMENDATION I can highly recommend Katell Keineg! I am surprised no one else mentioned her, actually. She has two albums out on Elektra ("O Seasons, O Castles" and "Jet") and they are both great. She has since been dropped by the label and is doing shows here and there and has an EP coming out on her own, as well as re-releases of her two full-lengths (smart lady, apparently she owns the rights to the masters!). Those of you that are Natalie Merchant fans (personally, I am not) will know her - she does backing vocals on Tigerlilly and Natalie covers Katell's song "Gulf of Araby" on her "Live in Concert" album. Much like Patty, Katell's acclaim did not reach nearly the heights it should have and she went pretty unappreciated by her label.

Subject: Re: MM:NPC:A MUSICAL RECOMMENDATION There is really nothing like Patty Griffin ... But here are my nominees for best female vocalist from my CD collection, and what I listen to ALL the time ... 1. Eva Cassidy (listening to her when not to Patty most of the time ... cannot seem to get enough of the voice.) 2. Beth Hart -- especially the song Leavin L.A. ... very many aspects of the sound to my ear have the gusto and guts of the Patty Griffin material 2. Darcie Miner -- fantastic stuff !!! 3. Beth Orton -- a very talented and not well known artist from England ... great voice .. .haunting yet serene, very beautiful sound .... 4. Natalie Merchant -- wonderful!! The best CD is Live in Central Park but the new one, Homeland, is a close second and her performance in Ann Arbor's Hill auditorium the week before the CD was released blew me away ... my sixth time seeing her in Michigan in four years ... 5. Emmylous Harris: I do not get the part about her songs being boring. As for the boring part about Emmylou Harris, you have not been listening to Wrecking Ball, Spyboy and Red Dirt Girl. Such a good sound ... very different (to my ear) than the earlier stuff. Fabulous. 6. Nanci Griffith's sound is so good on the CD where she is backed up by the London Symphony (I think it is) and the CD Blue Roses from the Moon. These are my suggestions. P.S. for a great sound from some good folk male artists, try (1) David Gray, (2) Kelly Jo Phelps, (3) John Hiatt, (4) Bruce Cockburn, (5) Gramm Parsons (i.e. all the usual suspects ...) - ----- Original Message ----- From: "LouAnn Muhm" To: ; Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 8:40 PM Subject: Re: MM:NPC:A MUSICAL RECOMMENDATION > And for something totally weird and new that Sarah Harmer led me to , check > out the Be Good Tanyas. they are from Vancouver, and their CD "Blue Horse" > is my current musical addiction.

So, I'll do it. Incredible lyrics, great musicianship, amazing voice, just irresistible!

Then saw him down in Atlanta when Patty brought on Emmy Lou, the crowd was not as bad as Lee would like you to believe. Don found Fuzzy's which I recommend it to anyone in Atlanta with an evening to kill. this group has turned me on to Lori McKenna - Mars, Hardly speaking a word - amazing Sarah Harmer Darcie Miner Jonatha Brooke Eleanor McEvoy Melissa Ferrick Katell Keineg Alana Davis Kasey Chambers (saw her for the first time bring on Lucinda on fist night of Essence tour in Knoxville - front row center - my 9 year old daughter's favorite) Gillian Welch ( on the top of list to see besides Lori) This coming from an old timer who used to go to 688 to see 10,000 Maniacs in mid-80's, live for Ricky Lee and then migrated into Lucinda,Nancy G, Emmy Lou...Any one who has not heard Lucinda's first two blues albums sponsored by the Smithsonian should. Ramlin' and Happy Women Blues.. Have yet to see Billy Bragg, will never see Kirsty MacColl unfortunately, 8 sightings and 40 CD's of Elvis Costello...

"The Captain" is her 2000 release and "Barricades..." is her 2001 release. Sorry 'bout that.... either way, pick 'em both up! They're superb! Also...I know some people on this list like to find tabs and chords...if you want them, there are some good pages for Kasey guitar tabs and chords! :) Peace and good music, Sarah _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2002 18:27:05 +0000 From: xenacrazy@att.net Subject: Re: MM: many thanks Oops, I guess someone did mention Eleanor McEvoy...i must have missed it. - -Lisa > I have to say this is one of the greatest lists I have ever been a member > of, > > I heard of Patty by way of Sessions on 54th and bought both CD's, > went to Nashville and met Don Henn, whom my wife still swears is possessed. > Then saw him down in Atlanta when Patty brought on Emmy Lou, the > crowd was not as bad as Lee would like you to believe.

The Libby Kirkpatrick recommendation is perfect. Both of her cds are great. Her first cd is great for lyrics, her second cd is great for sound.

Patty deserves my hard earned money in a way no other artist does. :) But I would strongly suggest LYNN MILES to anyone who loves Patty or even likes Jonatha Brooke, etc. One word: Rust. That songs tears me up. I think I even got her name from someone on this list. Wouldn't surprise me. And about as far from Patty as you can get, I listen to Lauryn Hill cause she just rocks. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2002 15:09:43 -0700 From: "Corey Atkins" Subject: MM: A bit o' testosterone In the interest of gender equivilence, may I suggest Ryan Adams' "Gold."
