In her new album "Close your eyes" Jenna makes 1970s songs like "Hope that I don´t fall in love with you" by Tom Waits and "You can close your eyes" by James Taylor her own with a voice that embraces your whole being. You can get it in high resolution DSD, 9624 WAV and FLAC at http://bluecoastrecords.downloadsnow...lose-your-eyes Link to comment
Sal1950 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 A little fun with the incompareble Jennifer Nettles of country musics Sugarland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUElqcOupAc "The gullibility of audiophiles is what astonishes me the most, even after all these years. How is it possible, how did it ever happen, that they trust fairy-tale purveyors and mystic gurus more than reliable sources of scientific information?" Peter Aczel - The Audio Critic R.I.P.

Sal1950 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Slow it down a bit with the hauntingly beautiful song Stay also written by Jennifer A must listen.

dkeller Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Another new female vocal to try out is Jenna Mammina. She has an album called Close Your Eyes which is available in high resolution FLAC, DSD, etc. and all the high res formats. I think she sounds a lot like Norah Jones but you will hear from the album a wide variety of songs with very good instrumental backing from piano to sax, etc. Definitely one for a Friday night with a glass of red wine! Available from Blue Coast Records: http://bluecoastrecords.downloadsnow.net/close-your-eyes Link to comment

Perhaps this is how she'd sound if recorded by Cookie. Link to comment

Rexp Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Slow it down a bit with the hauntingly beautiful song Stay also written by JenniferA must listen. Great video, I'm always amazed that a youtube clip can capture the emotion in a performance sometimes better than the CD. Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Two more recommendations.. Elina Duni is an astonishing Albanian vocalist recording for ECM now. Mari Boine is a fantastic Norwegian singer inspired by her country Sami folklore. Link to comment
