Wow....just heard Love reign o,er me on my Squuezebox. As it finished I rushed to my computer and ordered Interpretations from Amazon.
What a voice.

Hi Jerry,

Excellent choice. I've been aware of her material for some time, and have all of her albums. I'm a big fan :)

The track you mention makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, such is the sheer emotion she puts into her voice - awesome stuff!

Tina Turner, whom she is often compared to, doesn't have anything like her class or sheer soul.

This is why I listen to a lot of internet radio-its great when you find an artist who grabs your attention that you have never heard of before.:)

this is why I used to love Pandora. Now that you can't get it in the UK without a lot of messing, I often listen to LastFM if I am on the PC upstairs.

I mainly listen to Radio Paradise 128aac, the quality is fine. Linn Radio is better quality but plays some wierd stuff at times.
