Phoebe Bridgers: Stranger in the alps. Norah Jones: The Fall. Sade: Diamond Life. Bjork: Vespertine. Cindi Lauper: True Colors. Clairo: Sling. Haim: Women in Music
Mazzy, great list. Are you familiar with the late Eva Cassidy ? Her "Nightbird" live double album released in 2015, recorded at a Washington, D.C. blues club in 1996 is spectacular in both sound and content. Such a great voice and an exceptional band with her. M☘
Can’t believe the Gillian Welch album ‘Time (The Revelator) wasn’t re-released with her others, my favourite album of hers! Maybe because the great DJ Bob Harris was playing her music on his show before anyone else in the U.K. Why no Dusty Springfield? Her versions of If You Go Away and The Look Of Love are sublime, both are on The Silver Collection also The Magic Of Dusty Springfield has some great songs as well!
Enya! Diana Krall! Linda Ronstadt, have multiple copies on CD and vinyl! Wait a second, I only have Krall and Enya on CD, Nooo!! Thanks Mazzy for getting me to purchase Live in Paris from Diana Krall and some Enya on vinyl! That Kate Bush album I am gonna check out also! New to the channel, forgive me! Miss many of my buddies in the Northwest, where i lived and worked for seven years in the Star Lake area! Thanks again for the recommendations!
Some golden voices in that lineup. Your depth of knowledge on so many genres continues to amaze. I have a soft spot for Chrissie Hynde. She can sing with tremendous ferocity on one song and then blow you away with beautifully tender vulnerability on the next.
Beautifully said, Chrissie is as good as it gets! Once a century voice, with miles of character, attitude, soul and charisma! And she knows a great melody, her songs are endlessly tuneful!
great selections..love nina..love linda..surprised not seeing sam phillips..but excellent stuff..love gillian..used yto have her early cds before a purge...hope you're feeling well..loved the canada videos..stay well..peace my friend.. rocky
Killer list of female artists Emmy Lou Harris is one artist I need to dig deeper in I only own Wrecking Ball and Red Dirt Girl I’m definitely going to checkout the 2 you recommended.
A few off the top of my head: Tracey Thorn of Everything but the Girl, Ofra Haza “Fifty Gates of Wisdom”, and the ageless Mavis Staples. Oh, and thanks for including Gillian Welch!
Great episode. I’m going to go bankrupt. Just being facetious. My music library expands every time I watch one of your videos and I’ve never been disappointed with any of your selections. Most of them end up in my regular listening rotation. Thanks for all you do.
Great list once again Mazzy! Many female artists who have sometimes been overlooked! Enya 👍 Timi Yuro, Sandi Shaw, the mighty Dusty Springfield, Kate Bush, Bjork so many wonderful female artists who sound like no one else!!
Great post, Mazzy. You should know you are influencing my musical tastes, nudging me in the direction of jazz, which I'd previously not completely embraced. I've purchased several albums that you've highlighted, much to the horror of my wife, who last night said she was concerned about my latest musical tastes. Hey ho. I'll have to play these discs when she's out of earshot.
Stopped tuning in months ago…………..i could not afford yah! Just moved my entire stereo system including my modest vinyl collection…….and here I go again one video from you and I just bought 4 albums tonight, delivery tomorrow. Thanks for the excellent entertainment and work you do…….best,
Programming note: You can retitle this video "Artists whose albums I most frequently run into at yard sales" and use it again. See, that's what you get for not choosing a Laura Nyro album. 😮
Sharon Tandy would be on my list - particularly her version of Hold On - a classic with blistering backing from The Fleur De Lys - once heard, not forgotten.
Great video, I just ordered that Norah Jones, should be here tomorrow. I've got many records based on your recommendations and they have all been good so far, which means I have to be careful when I watch these. 😁
*Aerial* from Kate Bush would certainly qualify as an "audiophile" CD as would Norah Jones' *The Fall.* I often cite Karen Matheson of Capercaillie (Celtic pop with jazz syncopation) as a favorite voice. The microphone loves her on songs like "Waiting for the Wheel to Turn!"
Some personal favorite female singers over the years: Elizabeth Fraser, Dionne Warwick (definitive Bacharach interpretations), A Girl Called Eddie (Erin Moran), Rosalie Cunningham, Norma Winstone (Azimuth), Laura Nyro, Bjork, Kate Bush, Karen Carpenter, Roberta Flack. That Lady Blackbird album is a killer...
I’m all in with you on Kate Bush, Diana Krall, EmmyLou, Linda Ronstadt. I have all of Kate’s records. Still have my Quarter Moon from EmmyLou, first saw her live in the early 80’s, most recently on a cold night in Calgary. I will have to check out a few if your other suggestions. When I think of stunning recordings of female artists Amanda McBroom’s recording of her song The Rose on Growing up in Hollywood Town just slays me.
Thanks Mazzy!! I thought for sure you’d have Ellen McIlwaine on this list.. you turned me on to her a couple years ago, and she is terrific.. Honky Tonk Angel and We the People are outstanding
Aerial by Kate Bush is an underrated album. When people say they don't like Kate I say to them 'Let's see how far you get singing about your washing machine'.
Sept 8 was the date of Canciones de mi Padre reissue release. I bought it It is fantastic. Sounds wonderful. Diana Krall’s album Live in Paris is a great listen. As well as Emmylou. Nora Jones…. What can you say? Beautifully done. You didn’t leave us very many to help in the thread. Just kidding. Enjoyed the video.
Chris Hynde an alum from my High School has really delivered with this one Her brother Terry is a great Sax player for a Kent Ohio based group that has been a mainstay since the 70’s The Numbers Band 15 60 75 A classic band
Joan Baez's live in the bullring album is audiophile quality. I haven't looked for a long time, but good condition copies sold for $ hundreds. I have a fairly good copy. Sounds great.
Have you heard the RSD Little Broken Hearts live in studio version? It's not going to approach the AP sonically, but I think the songs sound better than the original version.
I tried to listen to Diana Krall, and I just can’t see what the brew ha ha is all about? It seems as though she is trying too hard to sound like a jazz singer. I listen to Sade and then Diana and I just get turned off?
Maybe you're right. It just seems she has she has been overlooked by America for the last 50 years, and yes, she is still performing. She was born in Detroit, yet she is almost unknown in America. Overseas, she is SUPERSTAR. She has done over 200 songs, a lot of albums. The only way she is known gere in America is because she was on Happy Days, and one of her songs, Stumblin In, was on the top 40, and she hosted Midnight Special in 1979. As I wrote, Suzi Quatro is a SUPERSTAR in the UK, Europe and in Australia, and Japan and the Orient. I guess you are not in agreement with me. Suzi Quatro needs to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a Lifetime Achivement Award. Nothing else will do. Like I wrote, it is only my opinion.anyone who reads reads this, here on U Tube, to do a search for Suzi Quatro, you will find a lot of songs. Please listen to some of her songs like Love Touch (5:26 minute version, and look at my comments there), Cat Size, If You Can't Give Me Love, Empty Rooms, A Lot Wiser Than You and some of the other songs. Well, thanks for reading, Dave In Sierra Vista AZ
A beautiful list. Some albums I know, others not. I make you one recommendation and I guarantee that you will have a double revelation of sound and music. It is a band of Norwegian jazz musicians with a fabulous performer. It is called Siri's Svale, Black Bird album. I like your channel a lot. My respect Mazzy
Don't Ask (1994) by Tina Arena, one of the best vocalists on the planet, technically perfect. Co produced by Peter Asher, with USA session greats. The track Sorrento Moon is sublime. Tina is multi award winning, and France awarded her a knighthood despite her being Australian.
Glad to hear I just got into her @@mazzysmusic Do you have any more female singers like her you could recommend me :) you have great taste massie , I love your channel
"The Most Cliche"... well, why would we be listening to 'female vocals'. If they were not Cliche, we would be listing to them as 'great artists.' Oh, I dunno, like Madonna or Janet Jackson. Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchel, Patty Smith, Karen Carpenter... I'd put Carly Simon into the 'female vocalists' bin. You put Kate Bush in there and Linda Rondstad. I have to agree. But what about the great ones? My all-time biggest female vocalist-I watched to the end, you missed her-with a never miss studio sound,.. Petula Clarke (spare me the English 60s fashions on the cover art though). One Hit Wonders... Cilla Black, Lulu and Marti Jones. Olive Newton John, Juice Newton, Bonnie Tyler, Diana Ross, Roberta Flack, Dionne Warwick, Lynn Anderson, Sade... never cross over to being bonafide artists for me. Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, solid. Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hynde and Belinda Carlisle... can't make up my mind. And one of my favorites... Rosanne Cash. Dark entry from Canada? Susan Jacks.

Tracy Chapman. Her debut album: Honest, unique, impactful voice. Brilliantly produced.
Phoebe Bridgers: Stranger in the alps. Norah Jones: The Fall. Sade: Diamond Life. Bjork: Vespertine. Cindi Lauper: True Colors. Clairo: Sling. Haim: Women in Music

No Aimee Mann? She’s one of my favorite female vocalist…
This is a brilliant take on female artist who don’t always get the dues they deserve well done Mazzy Peace and Love from the UK 🇬🇧
for me, my favorite has always been Grace Slick. I love her singing & songwriting. It's all subjective though
"China" from Sunfighter
Can’t believe the Gillian Welch album ‘Time (The Revelator) wasn’t re-released with her others, my favourite album of hers!

Her versions of If You Go Away and The Look Of Love are sublime, both are on The Silver Collection also The Magic Of Dusty Springfield has some great songs as well!
Dusty great but the recordings don’t really fit in this specific concept
Enya! Diana Krall! Linda Ronstadt, have multiple copies on CD and vinyl! Wait a second, I only have Krall and Enya on CD, Nooo!! Thanks Mazzy for getting me to purchase Live in Paris from Diana Krall and some Enya on vinyl! That Kate Bush album I am gonna check out also! New to the channel, forgive me!

"Pretenders I" is a great-sounding record.
@@devnull1313 FACTS! Pretenders debut belongs with the all time great debut albums ( Boston, Van Halen, The Doors, Led Zep, The Cars ).
Good pick on Chrissie Hynde. Saw her performing it live, Pizza Express London
Martha Velez, Feinds and Angels. Killer voice with Clapton on guitar.
Alela Diane's To Be Still, About Farewell, Maria Muldaur (self-titled), Rickie Lee Jones - Pirates
Rickie Lee.... I was going to mention her. Glad you did.
Try the first Nina Hagen Band eponymous record, dated 1978. Fantastic sound, Nina's amazing vocal technique, very solid group, original music.
great selections..love nina..love linda..surprised not seeing sam phillips..but excellent stuff..love gillian..used yto have her early cds before a purge...hope you're feeling well..loved the canada videos..stay well..peace my friend.. rocky
Killer list of female artists Emmy Lou Harris is one artist I need to dig deeper in I only own Wrecking Ball and Red Dirt Girl I’m definitely going to checkout the 2 you recommended.
The Beatles song Here There And Everywhere with Emmylou Harris is so beautiful. It gets a whole new life.
A few off the top of my head: Tracey Thorn of Everything but the Girl, Ofra Haza “Fifty Gates of Wisdom”, and the ageless Mavis Staples. Oh, and thanks for including Gillian Welch!
Tracy Thorn is an amazing singer...a shame that she wasn't blessed with a pretty face, she would have been a much bigger star.
Thanks for heads up on Lady Blackbird. What a talent!
Lucinda Williams - World Without Tears?
The Diana Krall, live in Paris, must be one of the best recorded concerts ever. I have the dvd, it's absolutely awesome ❤❤
Great episode. I’m going to go bankrupt. Just being facetious. My music library expands every time I watch one of your videos and I’ve never been disappointed with any of your selections. Most of them end up in my regular listening rotation. Thanks for all you do.
Fantastic contribution Mazzy. Nice work.
my favorite rock singer of the 80's is Chrissie Hynde. What feeling in her voice!
Thanks, Mazzy. Looking forward to spinning these, especially the records I haven’t heard. Great video.
Great list once again Mazzy! Many female artists who have sometimes been overlooked! Enya 👍 Timi Yuro, Sandi Shaw, the mighty Dusty Springfield, Kate Bush, Bjork so many wonderful female artists who sound like no one else!!
Excellent selections, including some artists I'm not really familiar with and should check out!
You put me on to Black Acid Soul a while ago. Brilliant Lp. Thank you.
Loved this. I picked twelve on my entry.
Great post, Mazzy. You should know you are influencing my musical tastes, nudging me in the direction of jazz, which I'd previously not completely embraced. I've purchased several albums that you've highlighted, much to the horror of my wife, who last night said she was concerned about my latest musical tastes. Hey ho. I'll have to play these discs when she's out of earshot.
That Lady Blackbird record is insanely good! 🔥 My record store owner recommended this one to me, and I am so thankful to her for that.
Stopped tuning in months ago…………..i could not afford yah! Just moved my entire stereo system including my modest vinyl collection…….and here I go again one video from you and I just bought 4 albums tonight, delivery tomorrow. Thanks for the excellent entertainment and work you do…….best,
If you enjoy the music, then that’s not a bad thing
Programming note: You can retitle this video "Artists whose albums I most frequently run into at yard sales" and use it again. See, that's what you get for not choosing a Laura Nyro album. 😮
I am lucky enough to have the Rondstadt/Nelson Riddle box set. Pristine vinyl recording.
Looks like I’ll be spending some money picking up a few of these. I would have added Eva Cassidy live
Sharon Tandy would be on my list - particularly her version of Hold On - a classic with blistering backing from The Fleur De Lys - once heard, not forgotten.
Great picks Dear Mazzy !! Only few people presenting positively Emmylou Harris in France !
Pleased to see Aerial getting a mention. So great.
Most of Bonnie Raitt's albums from "Nick of Time" to the present sound amazing. Joan Osbourne is also a favoriter, especially her R&B and Soul covers.
Terrific albums!
Great video, I just ordered that Norah Jones, should be here tomorrow. I've got many records based on your recommendations and they have all been good so far, which means I have to be careful when I watch these. 😁
*Aerial* from Kate Bush would certainly qualify as an "audiophile" CD as would Norah Jones' *The Fall.* I often cite Karen Matheson of Capercaillie (Celtic pop with jazz syncopation) as a favorite voice. The microphone loves her on songs like "Waiting for the Wheel to Turn!"
Lady Blackbird IS the real deal. Totally new to me but I purchased this last spring. always great to revisit.
Linda Ronstadt my #1 ❤ any album.
Grace Jones Nightclubbing…still sounds fabulous…at home or in the…erm…nightclub
Some personal favorite female singers over the years: Elizabeth Fraser, Dionne Warwick (definitive Bacharach interpretations), A Girl Called Eddie (Erin Moran), Rosalie Cunningham, Norma Winstone (Azimuth), Laura Nyro, Bjork, Kate Bush, Karen Carpenter, Roberta Flack. That Lady Blackbird album is a killer...
Cocteau Twins! GORGEOUS, ETHEREAL, MAJESTIC.....ETERNAL!
Please show 25 more albums of your TEN BEST SOUNDING FEMALE ARTISTS IN YOUR COLLECTION.❤
I’m all in with you on Kate Bush, Diana Krall, EmmyLou, Linda Ronstadt. I have all of Kate’s records. Still have my Quarter Moon from EmmyLou, first saw her live in the early 80’s, most recently on a cold night in Calgary.

My Wife being from Somerset,England loves Kate Bush .
Nice list - thanks!❤🎶
Aerial is a very, very nice one.
1. Janis Joplin, 2. Kate Bush, 3. Nina Hagen, 4. Suzi Quatro, 5. Tina Turner, 6. Sandy Denny
7. Eva Cassidy, 8. Anisette Koppel, 9. Chrissy Hynde, 10. Grace Slick

What can you say? Beautifully done. You didn’t leave us very many to help in the thread. Just kidding. Enjoyed the video.
There are so many others ✌🏼
Great list!
Diana collaborated with Elvis Costello on "The Girl In The Other Room". not every song is by him.
Chris Hynde an alum from my High School has really delivered with this one Her brother Terry is a great Sax player for a Kent Ohio based group that has been a mainstay since the 70’s The Numbers Band 15 60 75
A classic band
I sampled the Chrissie Hynde album and am impressed enough to get it. She sounds like she was born to sing jazz.
Thanks!
Joan Baez's live in the bullring album is audiophile quality. I haven't looked for a long time, but good condition copies sold for $ hundreds. I have a fairly good copy. Sounds great.
Lady Blackbird is wonderful. I'd add Cleo Sol. Listen to Mother. Sublime
Some good choices, as I scanned through. Will rewatch this evening. Alison Krauss should be on a few lists.
Sublime voice, Alison's tone and phrasing are inimitable! Just ask Robert Plant. Great pick!
Have you heard the RSD Little Broken Hearts live in studio version? It's not going to approach the AP sonically, but I think the songs sound better than the original version.
I have that Diana Krall Album. I'll have to listen to it this week.
I tried to listen to Diana Krall, and I just can’t see what the brew ha ha is all about? It seems as though she is trying too hard to sound like a jazz singer. I listen to Sade and then Diana and I just get turned off?
Did you ever think of Suzi Quatro? Dave in Sierra Vista AZ
Not for great sound for this topic
Maybe you're right. It just seems she has she has been overlooked by America for the last 50 years, and yes, she is still performing. She was born in Detroit, yet she is almost unknown in America. Overseas, she is SUPERSTAR. She has done over 200 songs, a lot of albums.

Well, thanks for reading, Dave In Sierra Vista AZ
Dusty Springfield???
I love Dusty but her recordings aren’t as good as these. That’s this specific concept
....... and FLYING COWBOYS by Rickie Lee Jones. Produced by Walter Becker (Steely Dan). A PERFECT album ?
A beautiful list. Some albums I know, others not. I make you one recommendation and I guarantee that you will have a double revelation of sound and music. It is a band of Norwegian jazz musicians with a fabulous performer. It is called Siri's Svale, Black Bird album.
I like your channel a lot.
My respect Mazzy
Great choices, especially that Norah Jones album.
PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Melody Gardot, Aimee Mann, Bjork. Te las recomiendo!
Like You I am over 70 . Joan Baez 1 And Ricky Lee Jones 2 . Mahalia Jackson 3
magic selection Mazzy... love lady blackbird,,,, BUT.... do you think that the track Fix It is a ripoff of Bill Evans 'Peace Piece' please comment..
Nice to see the peerless one in your list. (Kate Bush)
Tori Amos first two are also pretty amazing.
I like Amanda Shires. from Tx, alt country, sings, writes, and plays the fiddle.
And I love to hear her talk...she just has a weird dialect/speech pattern I find very appealing.
Ella Fitzgerald, Jennifer Warnes, Melody Gardot,Norah Jones, Diana Krall (seriously), Mary Black, Rhiannon Giddens
Rhiannon's latest album is fantastic!
Mazzy, another great video, I love Enya, how did you find that on vinyl? I’m glad you included Linda Ronstadt and debut from Nina Simone. ✌️
Simply grabbed the Enya records when they first came out 🤷🏻♂️🤠
I have the Ronstadt Spanish album and the music is great, but the sound quality is really bad. Perhaps I got a bad copy?
What ? No Eva Cassidy ? Guess I’ll have to do my own video. Some great choices, anyway.
Too many great's to list. I don't see K.D. Lang listed below (may have missed) or Tori Amos.
Love Diana Krall in Paris
Annie Lenox, Natalie Merchant
What's your take on the current retro-soul/R&B?
This is the most hilarious top 10 I ever saw.🤷
I have an Amp that goes to 11. 😎
Great picks. Like Enya still.
Instead of doing 11, why don’t you just do 10, and make 10 louder?
New Pretenders album tomorrow 🙂
Bakers Dozen.
Er Melody Gardot?
Don't Ask (1994) by Tina Arena, one of the best vocalists on the planet, technically perfect. Co produced by Peter Asher, with USA session greats. The track Sorrento Moon is sublime. Tina is multi award winning, and France awarded her a knighthood despite her being Australian.
The sad fact that she's a RWNJ cooker invalidates that completely! She's trash.
Jennifer Warnes Famous Blue Raincoat is worthy of mention. Sure, the production could be considered contentious, but her sublime vocals override this.
👍👍😎✌️🤟
You would love Laura Nyro , Massie :) check her out
I do love her. I have four of her LPs✌🏼
Glad to hear I just got into her @@mazzysmusic Do you have any more female singers like her you could recommend me :) you have great taste massie , I love your channel
Good selection but a little surprised you chose Emmylou Harris over Allison Krauss.
I love Krauss. Only hand her CDs
You like Kate Bush and Nick Cave. Got it.
Yup and the thousands others I show in these videos
A great selection but try Amy Winehouse.
Amy Winehouse was an amazing female singer who was here way too short. MR Stickermania
'Best Sounding' allows you to leave out many wonderful artists - apart from Emmylou it wouldn't be any of these.
Stop it - you are costing me a fortune!
"The Most Cliche"... well, why would we be listening to 'female vocals'. If they were not Cliche, we would be listing to them as 'great artists.' Oh, I dunno, like Madonna or Janet Jackson.

Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, solid. Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hynde and Belinda Carlisle... can't make up my mind. And one of my favorites... Rosanne Cash. Dark entry from Canada? Susan Jacks.
All good suggestions. This particular list wasn’t necessarily the top greatest but some of the best sound records artists ✌🏼
