To continue the theme of amazing female vocalists, I’m drawn to Annie Lennox who is absolutely otherworldly.
I had fallen in love with Neil Young’s song “Don’t Let It Bring You Down” from his 1970 album After the Gold Rush
In 1995, Annie Lennox came out with Medusa
Did you hear that? Neil Young’s song was a homeless guy giving some advice to a guy on the street… and Annie Lennox’s song came from an position of seductive privilege trying to distract this same person.
Maybe that’s just me.
So… what are you listening to?
Not to brag (as I blow on my knuckles and polish them on my shirt) but if you go back and look at my list, I include Mr. Young’s album on that very thread.
Besides it gives me a chance to piggy back on your brilliance. “Well Jaybird thinks it was a GREAT album.”
Aw, man! I even re-read the thread to see if it was mentioned!
(I’ll add you to the post. It’ll be seamless.)
There. I changed “now that I think about it” to “as Mark Boggs pointed out”. No one will ever know.
My list was rather long and, probably boring, so the oversight is of no concern. But being mentioned in a post? Bucket list item #247? Complete.
(Looks insufferably smug)
I kind of cheated, too. I had to nudge JB to let him know that I said something really important that he didn’t see.
Jaybird, I’m going to say one word to you, just one word; Liza!
Cabaret?
Anything where she sings.
How about Ethel Merman…or Carol Channing?
In heaven, I am sung to sleep each night by Annie Lennox
I know it’s probably saying something deeply wrong about myself, but I happen to prefer many of the cover versions on “Medusa” to the originals. And her version of “Ladies of the Canyon” is lush and sumptuous and delightful.
Also, what JG new said.
