Celebrating Women's History Month: Fan Favorites (Episode 13)
Added 2023-04-01 04:30:01 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed recording this month's Fan Favorites video. The music is all so good, representing a variety of styles and genres. Thanks again to the community for your participation and your voting.
As we celebrate Women's History Month, this month's theme was (broadly) on music by women. The artists and songs include:
- Donna Summer (State of Independence)
- Linda Ronstadt (Blue Bayou)
- Roberta Flack (The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face)
- Tori Amos (Flying Dutchman)
- Janis Joplin (Kozmic Blues)
- Alanis Morissette (Uninvited)
- Laurie Anderson (Excellent Birds)
- Dolly Parton (9 to 5)
- Fairport Convention (Who Knows Where The Time Goes?)
Comments
Donna Summer - neither the singer nor the song is for me. Linda Ronstadt - excellent delivery. Roberta Flack - a classic, acknowledged. Tori Amos - that cracking warble can undermine the strength of the melody for me. Janis Joplin's voice has never appealed to me, yet Maggie Bell's does. Alanis Morrissette - a fine song skilfully presented, especially as a component of a film soundtrack. Laurie Anderson - more than a shade of Talking Heads too, hypnotic without travelling very far. Dolly Parton - an agitprop song with style, not merely a soundtrack weapon. Fairport Convention - of another place and time, sublime. Part of the electrification of English folk music that so irked the traditionalists but when this is the result...

2023-04-01 23:08:20 +0000 UTCOne of the best Fan Favorites so far! To cap it off with Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention was a thrill for me. I have been a fan of Sandy and Richard Thompson since 1970. I am so glad they not only broke through but topped the list!
