Anna Calvi - Anna Calvi
Another reality
In referring recently to Ellen Mcilwaine as a great female singer/guitarist, here's another in that important lineage. I read about here in this week's Observer and it is worth checking out videos of her performing on YouTube. She has a powerful voice, and her guitar playing reminds me a little of Jeff Buckley in the way we always try to find precursors and influences and tags. The video of her instrumental version of Leonard Cohen's 'Joan of Arc' is superb: see post below.

I saw that Observer review and am thinking of giving Anna Calvi a try. She has had a lot of positive press recently. Trish
