Thanks for the tip - very nice!

Glad you liked it!

For an acoustic guitar world connection, she does a version of Joni Mitchell's "Down to You" on her record "The New Bossa Nova" that's just wonderful.

I sent this song to a friend who I know will like it as well.

Another I forgot to add to my original post is this gal - I bet you'll like her too if you don't already know about her!

Oh dear! It's time to introduce...the 'specialists'
 

Joan Armatrading-phenomenal guitarist, not well known. I went to many of her concerts in the 1980s. lasted 2-3 hours.

Who is she?

That would be Miss Emmylou Harris!;)

So glad to see Alison Krauss get a mention.

For something less well known, check this out. This young lady is channeling Peggy Lee in a most uncanny and delightful way. Super stuff.

Some great responses. And some new ones.

To add a few of my favorites...

The incomparable Sandy Denny
