A friend to whom I pass Love-Hounds articles has this to say about
female singers...

| You might suggest for me that he give a listen to Maria McKee, former
| lead singer for the group Lone Justice.  The cd that has Breathe is 
| quite nice.  Also, if he's so inclined k.d. lang's Absolute Torch and 
| Twang cd is very nice.

If you really want something different, try Caterwaul.  Very "crunchy"
(as Drukman would say) with unusual vocals.  Caterwaul is a good
description.  _Portent Hue_ is excellant, _Pin and Web_ is pretty
good.  I'm told their earlier efforts don't measure up.

Tanita Tikaram writes superb words and music but has a vocal talent
somewhere just shy of Warren Zevon.  Still, she works hard at it and I
enjoy her work a lot.
