Female Vocals: Stunning Recordings You Love

[EERecordist]

Renee Flemming is well known for opera. She has teamed with Bela Fleck and guest performers on new release April 29, The Fiddle and the Drum. Country, bluegrass, folk. I recorded her Fulbright audition, so I follow her career.

It is traditional to bend the pitch in vocals for this genre, less so in this recording.

Guest singers are Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Aoife O'Donovan, Sierra Hull, Jerry Douglas, Sarah Jarosz, and Sam Bush. Guest musicians are Michael Cleveland (fiddle), Dominick Leslie (mandolin), Mike Bub (bass), Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Bryan Sutton (guitar).

Ilaria Graziano and Francesco Forni perform a song "La Strada", with a troupe of modern dancers adding a kinesthetic garnish. This was the standout track on a CD I bought many years ago. There is also available a video which skips the mutual appreciation segment following the performance, on Graziano's YT channel I think.

I don't remember the exact name of the CD, but it's women artists cover works by Neil Young and it's great.

Its a masterpiece. Dont fast forward! Let it get there.

P.S.: Just listened to it again, even after countless number of times, still getting goosebumps.

Ilaria Graziano and Francesco Forni perform a song "La Strada"

Her vocals remind me of Eddi Reader and Fairground Attraction. No bad thing, that.

entirely toooo many women being run through singing school and flooding the market, I'd say.

Overcompressed and too much usage of Exciter on the voice - for my taste at least.
