Female Vocals

[Rare Bird]

Anyone that knows me knows i have a fettish for Progressive bands with Female vocalists! Yes there are a lot..Being strickly pre '73 i do also have a post '73 fettish for a certain new age singer called Bjork! i've seen her live three times & think she is probably the best modern thing. especially her 'Post' (Excluding the 'o so quiet' tripe) & 'Homogenic' albums..So there you have it a confession.Afterall blokes are crap at singing.

What tours did you see her on Andre?

I saw her on the Homogenic tour at symphony hall brum, and on the recent Volta tour at Wolverhampton

I've never been able to get into Bjork (ooeeerrrrrr) but as you mentioned female prog rock I absolutely adore the early Renaissance stuff especially Prologue.

Scheherazade is the album that does it for me, Ms Haslam is still touring but only in the US it seems, have a look at her WEBSITE (http://www.anniehaslam.com/ah_concerts.html).

REM, I think all of their early stuff was exceptional. One of my alltime favourite albums ever is 'A Song For All Seasons' which quite a few Renaissance fans don't like.

A few years back I bought the album 'The Other Woman' with a different singer and also bought an Annie Haslam solo CD. I have to say that the Annie Haslam CD was the poorest of the two. Maybe she's just gone off a bit with age.

Looking back on the earlier Renaissance stuff though it's amazing to see the quality of guest musicians that appeared on their albums.
