2024-03-08 21:22:26 +0000 UTCWe have some really lovely female voices in the more folk-orientated world of song. A lady called Kate Rusby, who has the voice of an angel, and has been a stalwart of the folk scene here in UK for a while now- "Cruel" is a great song of hers. Two sisters- Rachel and Becky Unthank are a bit more traditional, there's a beautiful song called "The King Of Rome" (it's about a racing pigeon...and people's dreams to be more profound), check out the live version with the Grimethorp Colliery band, beautiful brass. A band of sisters called The Staves, from my home town- Watford- are really good too. They've worked with Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), three voices which blend beautifully. A newer voice on the scene is Katharine Priddy, just about to release her 2nd album here. Off her first album "The Rocks Beneath" the song song "Euridice" is really cool; and I know Doug likes a bit of Greek mythology. Another sister band is Sweden's First Aid Kit, plenty of good stuff to search out from those girls.
